Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 2 points (Kimi K2.7 Code Highspeed 44/100, GPT-5-Codex 42/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: Kimi K2.7 Code Highspeed on price and GPT-5-Codex for long inputs. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.
