OpenAI: GPT-4o (2024-11-20)

GPT-4o, developed by OpenAI and released on November 20, 2024, boasts an expansive context length of 128,000 tokens and supports text, image, and file inputs, making it versatile for various tasks. It can integrate tools but lacks explicit support for reasoning or structured output. With a blended benchmark score of 17.3 across one independent test, GPT-4o should be considered by those requiring comprehensive input modalities and tool integration. Given its pricing at $2.5 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, it is suitable for projects that can justify the cost due to its robust capabilities and high benchmark score, especially in scenarios where diverse input types are necessary.
