GPT-4 Turbo
DeprecatedPrevious-gen GPT-4 flagship with 128k context, now superseded by GPT-4o.
Overview
GPT-4 Turbo was OpenAI's flagship model before GPT-4o, featuring a 128k context window and improved instruction following over GPT-4. Deprecated in favor of GPT-4o.
History
GPT-4 Turbo became available via the OpenAI API on 2024-04-09. This model is marked as deprecated and may be retired in the future.
Training & availability
Training data has a knowledge cutoff of 2023-12-31 — information about events after that date is unlikely to appear in the model's responses. OpenAI has not released the underlying model weights — access is via their hosted API only.
Capabilities
-
Context window: 128K tokens.
-
Max output: 4K tokens.
-
Input modalities: text, image.
Recommended for: vision, agentic.
Limitations
-
The knowledge cutoff is 27 months old — this model will not know about recent events, releases, or API changes.
-
At $30.00/1M output tokens, this is in the premium tier — verify cost-per-value for high-volume workloads.
Pricing
- Input: $10.0000 per 1M tokens
- Output: $30.0000 per 1M tokens

Quick start
Minimal example using the openai API. Copy, paste, replace the key.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4-turbo",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one sentence."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)Cost calculator
Estimate your monthly bill. Presets are typical workload sizes.
