OpenAI: GPT-5.3-Codex

openai/gpt-5.3-codex

GPT-5.3-Codex is OpenAI’s most advanced agentic coding model, combining the frontier software engineering performance of GPT-5.2-Codex with the broader reasoning and professional knowledge capabilities of GPT-5.2. It achieves state-of-the-art results on SWE-Bench Pro and strong performance on Terminal-Bench 2.0 and OSWorld-Verified, reflecting improved multi-language coding, terminal proficiency, and real-world computer-use skills. The model is optimized for long-running, tool-using workflows and supports interactive steering during execution, making it suitable for complex development tasks, debugging, deployment, and iterative product work.

Beyond coding, GPT-5.3-Codex performs strongly on structured knowledge-work benchmarks such as GDPval, supporting tasks like document drafting, spreadsheet analysis, slide creation, and operational research across domains. It is trained with enhanced cybersecurity awareness, including vulnerability identification capabilities, and deployed with additional safeguards for high-risk use cases. Compared to prior Codex models, it is more token-efficient and approximately 25% faster, targeting professional end-to-end workflows that span reasoning, execution, and computer interaction.

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick: Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Floor (cheapest).

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.
