GPT-4o mini

GPT-4o mini is OpenAI's small, fast, low-cost variant of GPT-4o released in July 2024 — designed as a high-volume workhorse for tasks that don't need flagship intelligence. Priced at roughly $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output tokens (15-20x cheaper than GPT-4o), the model targeted high-volume use cases: classification, summarization, simple Q&A, agent tool calls, content moderation, and embedded copilot features. Despite the small price, GPT-4o mini outperformed GPT-3.5 Turbo on most benchmarks and is comparable to many mid-tier models from competitors. The model became the default for ChatGPT free-tier users when message limits exhausted on GPT-4o, and the recommended choice in OpenAI's documentation for cost-sensitive applications. Context window is 128K tokens. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs use model-mix strategies routing cheap queries to GPT-4o mini and expensive ones to flagship models supporting responsible AI cost optimization in enterprise AI environments.
