GPT-5.3-Codex

not ranked n/a
the take

The Codex-line coding specialist, now being quietly retired in favour of the general models. Good SWE-bench, thin on everything else, which is why it sits here rather than on the board.

Not ranked: OpenAI doesn't publish enough comparable public benchmarks to place it fairly. How ranking works.
