GPT-5.1-Codex-Max or Relace Apply 3: which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick GPT-5.1-Codex-Max for a larger context window (400K against 256K tokens).
No benchmark has tested both yet. GPT-5.1-Codex-Max has results on LiveCodeBench (Vals AI), Vibe Code Bench (Vals AI) and Terminal-Bench; Relace Apply 3 has none yet. Compare them on price and context instead.

Benchmark by benchmark
Every board either model has a result on, a category to a fold; bars are each result on a 0 to 100 scale. Only one model is measured on each, so no row names a leader.
