About GPT-4o Mini

GPT-4o Mini is OpenAI's most affordable model in the GPT-4o family, designed to make advanced AI accessible for high-volume applications. At just $0.15 per million input tokens, it's one of the cheapest frontier-class models available while still delivering strong performance on everyday tasks. The model supports a 128K context window, function calling, JSON mode, and vision capabilities — inheriting key features from its larger sibling. GPT-4o Mini excels at classification, summarization, content generation, and simple reasoning tasks where full GPT-4o performance isn't necessary. It has become one of the most widely used AI models globally, powering millions of applications from chatbots to coding assistants to data processing pipelines.
