Overview

History

GPT-4o-mini (2024-07-18) became available via the OpenAI API on 2024-07-18.

Training & availability

Training data has a knowledge cutoff of 2023-10-31 — 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: 16K tokens.
Input modalities: text, image, file.

Recommended for: vision, agentic, cheap.

Limitations

The knowledge cutoff is 30 months old — this model will not know about recent events, releases, or API changes.

Pricing

Input: $0.1500 per 1M tokens
Output: $0.6000 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-4o-mini-2024-07-18",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one sentence."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
