OpenAI has released GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini, enhancing coding capabilities within ChatGPT. According to OpenAI on Twitter, GPT-4.1 "excels at coding tasks & instruction following" and serves as a faster alternative to OpenAI o3 & o4-mini for everyday coding needs. GPT-4.1 mini replaces GPT-4o mini as the default for all ChatGPT users, including those on the free tier. The models are available via the “more models” dropdown selection in the top corner of the chat window within ChatGPT.
GPT-4.1 is now accessible to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users, with Enterprise and Education user access expected in the coming weeks. While initially intended for use only by third-party developers via OpenAI's API, GPT-4.1 was added to ChatGPT following strong user feedback. OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil said "We built it for developers, so it's very good at coding and instruction following—give it a try!".
These models support the standard context windows for ChatGPT and are optimized for enterprise-grade practicality. GPT-4.1 delivers improvements over GPT-4o on the SWE-bench Verified software engineering benchmark and Scale’s MultiChallenge benchmark. Safety remains a priority, with OpenAI reporting that GPT-4.1 performs at parity with GPT-4o across standard safety evaluations.

OpenAI has unveiled its latest advancements in AI technology with the launch of the GPT-4.1 family of models. This new suite includes GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano, all accessible via API, and represents a significant leap forward in coding capabilities, instruction following, and context processing. Notably, these models feature an expanded context window of up to 1 million tokens, enabling them to handle larger codebases and extensive documents. The GPT-4.1 family aims to cater to a wide range of developer needs by offering different performance and cost profiles, with the goal of creating more advanced and efficient AI applications.
These models demonstrate superior results on various benchmarks compared to their predecessors, GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini. Specifically, GPT-4.1 showcases a substantial improvement on the SWE-bench Verified coding test with a 54.6% increase, and a 38.3% increase on Scale’s MultiChallenge for instruction following. Each model is designed with a specific purpose in mind: GPT-4.1 excels in high-level cognitive tasks like software development and research, GPT-4.1 mini offers a balanced performance with reduced latency and cost, while GPT-4.1 nano provides the quickest and most affordable option for tasks such as classification. All three models have knowledge updated through June 2024.
The introduction of the GPT-4.1 family also brings about changes in OpenAI's existing model offerings. The GPT-4.5 Preview model in the API is set to be deprecated on July 14, 2025, due to GPT-4.1 offering comparable or better utility at a lower cost. In terms of pricing, GPT-4.1 is 26% less expensive than GPT-4o for median queries, along with increased prompt caching discounts. Early testers have already noted positive outcomes, with improvements in code review suggestions and data retrieval from large documents. OpenAI emphasizes that many underlying improvements are being integrated into the current GPT-4o version within ChatGPT.

OpenAI has launched a new series of GPT-4.1 models, including GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano. These API-only models are not accessible via the ChatGPT interface but offer significant improvements in coding, instruction following, and context handling. All three models support a massive 1 million token context window, and they have a May 31, 2024 cutoff date.
GPT-4.1 demonstrates enhanced performance in coding benchmarks, surpassing GPT-4o by 21.4% on industry benchmarks. The models are also more cost-effective, with GPT-4.1 being 26% cheaper than GPT-4o and offering better latency. The GPT-4.1 nano model is OpenAI's cheapest model yet, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.40 per million output tokens. As a result of GPT-4.1's improved performance, OpenAI will be deprecating GPT-4.5 Preview on July 14, 2025.
The GPT-4.1 series excels in several key areas, including coding capabilities and instruction following. The models have achieved impressive scores on benchmarks like SWE-bench Verified and Scale’s MultiChallenge, demonstrating real-world software engineering skills and enhanced adherence to requested formats. Several companies have reported significant improvements in their specialized applications, with GPT-4.1 scoring higher on internal coding benchmarks, providing better code review suggestions, and improving the extraction of granular financial data from complex documents.

OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to launch a suite of new AI models, including GPT-4.1, o3, and o4 mini. These models are expected to offer significant performance improvements and cater to more specialized use cases. The Verge, citing sources familiar with OpenAI's roadmap, first reported the planned releases. References to the new models have since been discovered within an updated web version of ChatGPT, further supporting the imminent launch.
The upcoming models represent an expansion of OpenAI's "o-series" reasoning models. The "o3" model is anticipated to be the full successor to the o1 reasoning model, providing advancements over the existing o3-mini versions. The o3 family is designed for STEM tasks, cost-efficiency, and lower latency. The o4-mini and o4-mini-high are expected to offer even better reasoning capabilities than the o3 generation, and will allow users to balance performance and speed.
OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, previously hinted at the release of new o3 and o4 models in the near future, ahead of the larger GPT-5 model. The integration of these models into ChatGPT will enable users to select the best option based on their subscription tier and task requirements. It is likely these models will appear within the ChatGPT interface, selectable by users depending on their subscription tier and task requirements. Developers and those working on STEM-related problems are expected to be the main beneficiaries of these new models.

OpenAI is preparing to retire its GPT-4 model from ChatGPT on April 30, 2025, marking a significant transition as the company advances its AI technology. This change will see GPT-4o, the "omni" model, replacing GPT-4 as the default for ChatGPT users. The GPT-4o boasts enhanced capabilities, including improved handling of text, images, and audio inputs, alongside faster and more natural conversations. While GPT-4 will no longer be available within the ChatGPT interface, it will remain accessible through OpenAI's API for developers and enterprise users.
OpenAI is also gearing up to launch a suite of new AI models, including GPT-4.1, o3, and o4-mini, aiming to enhance the performance and efficiency of AI across various applications. GPT-4.1 is described as an upgraded version of GPT-4o with improvements in speed and accuracy. The o3 model is presented as a powerful reasoning tool, excelling in complex math and science problems, while the o4-mini offers similar capabilities at a lower cost. These models are designed to cater to different needs, from everyday use on mobile devices to specialized applications in sectors like healthcare and finance.
Meanwhile, OpenAI is embroiled in a legal battle with Elon Musk, who has filed a countersuit accusing the company of "unlawful harassment." OpenAI alleges that Musk has engaged in press attacks and malicious campaigns to harm the company. This legal conflict underscores the tension surrounding OpenAI's transition from a non-profit to a for-profit entity, with Musk claiming the company has abandoned its original mission for the benefit of humanity. Despite this, OpenAI recently secured a $40 billion funding round, intending to further AI research and development.
