GPT-4o Mini: Superior and Cost-Effective AI
๐ OpenAI launches GPT-4o Mini, the most cost-effective model ever! Now available in various APIs and on Merlin.
๐ OpenAI Launches GPT-4o Mini!
Hey, we know OpenAI has just launched GPT-4o Mini, a model that's 60% cheaper than GPT-3.5 and the best among all the small LLMs. This marks a literal 99% cost reduction in GPT-3 equivalent models over the last two years.
OpenAI has formally acknowledged this cost reduction trajectory:
"The cost per token of GPT-4o Mini has dropped by 99% since text-davinci-003, a less capable model introduced in 2022. Weโre committed to continuing this trajectory of driving down costs while enhancing model capabilities."
๐ฐ Is GPT-4o Mini Free?
No, but it's very affordable! OpenAI has made GPT-4o Mini available as a text and vision model immediately in the Assistant API, Chat Completion API, and the Batch API. You only need to pay 15 cents per 1M input prompt tokens and 60 cents per 1M output response tokens.
OpenAI expects GPT-4o Mini to significantly expand the range of applications built with AI by making intelligence much more affordable.
๐งโโ๏ธ Does Merlin Offer GPT-4o Mini?
Yes! Merlin GPT-4o Mini is now live on Merlin at getmerlin.in/magic. You can access Merlin's unified model and feature router, which detects the appropriate model and Merlin feature to address your query based on the prompt you put in. It can be accessed via the "Merlin Magic" button.
๐ How Big is GPT-4o Mini?
- Context Window: 128K tokens
- Output Tokens: Supports up to 16K output tokens per request
- Knowledge Cutoff: October 2023
GPT-4o Mini's low cost and latency enable a broad range of tasks, such as applications that chain or parallelize multiple model calls (e.g., calling multiple APIs), passing a large volume of context to the model (e.g., full code base or conversation history), or interacting with customers through fast, real-time text responses (e.g., customer support chatbots).
Today, GPT-4o Mini supports text and vision in the API, with future support planned for text, image, video, and audio inputs and outputs. Thanks to the improved tokenizer shared with GPT-4o, handling non-English text is now even more cost-effective.
