Goodbye GPT-3.5, OpenAI's new mini AI model GPT-4o is all about compact power


OpenAI has added a new large language model (LLM) called GPT-4o mini to ChatGPT and its APIs. As the name implies, the GPT-4o Mini model is a smaller version of the GPT-4o model introduced in May. The mini model is designed to balance the power of GPT-4o with a more cost-effective approach.

GPT-4o mini has much of the functionality of its larger cousin, though the API only has text and vision support for now, with image, video, and audio inputs and outputs still in development. Like GPT-4o, the new model has a context window of 128,000 tokens, or eight times that of GPT-3.5 Turbo. The new model also comes with enhanced security features. Along with those already built into GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini has added new techniques that make it more resistant to jailbreaks and bad message injections, among other issues that plague developers looking to deploy AI APIs broadly.
