OpenAI: GPT-4o (2024-08-06)

The OpenAI GPT-4o is a multimodal large language model that can process text, images, and files up to 128,000 context tokens. It supports tools for integration with external systems but does not support reasoning or structured output. Consider shortlisting the OpenAI GPT-4o if you need a robust text processing capability and are willing to pay $2.5 per million input tokens and $10.0 per million output tokens. With a blended benchmark score of 16.4 across two independent benchmarks, it holds its own in comparison to other models. However, its performance is not without cost, so evaluate whether the price point aligns with your project's requirements before making a decision.
