OpenAI: GPT-4.1 Mini
The OpenAI GPT-4.1 Mini is a language model that supports input through various modalities, including text, images, and files. It has a context length of 1,047,576 tokens and can generate up to 32,768 completion tokens. Considering its pricing, the OpenAI GPT-4.1 Mini may be worth shortlisting for those who prioritize its ability to handle multiple input formats and have a relatively large budget. Its blended benchmark score of 35.3 across three independent benchmarks suggests it is competitively performing in certain areas; however, some domains may not be well-covered due to a limited number of benchmark scores available. At $0.4 per million input tokens and $1.6 per million output tokens, its price point will likely only appeal to organizations or individuals with substantial resources.
