OpenAI has recently launched its newest reasoning model, o3-pro, making it available to ChatGPT Pro and Team subscribers, as well as through OpenAI’s API. Enterprise and Edu subscribers will gain access the following week. The company touts o3-pro as a significant upgrade, emphasizing its enhanced capabilities in mathematics, science, and coding, and its improved ability to utilize external tools.
OpenAI has also slashed the price of o3 by 80% and o3-pro by 87%, positioning the model as a more accessible option for developers seeking advanced reasoning capabilities. This price adjustment comes at a time when AI providers are competing more aggressively on both performance and affordability. Experts note that evaluations consistently prefer o3-pro over the standard o3 model across all categories, especially in science, programming, and business tasks.
O3-pro utilizes the same underlying architecture as o3, but it’s tuned to be more reliable, especially on complex tasks, with better long-range reasoning. The model supports tools like web browsing, code execution, vision analysis, and memory. While the increased complexity can lead to slower response times, OpenAI suggests that the tradeoff is worthwhile for the most challenging questions "where reliability matters more than speed, and waiting a few minutes is worth the tradeoff.”

OpenAI has launched o3-pro, a new and improved version of its AI model designed to provide more reliable and thoughtful responses, especially for complex tasks. Replacing the o1-pro model, o3-pro is accessible to Pro and Team users within ChatGPT and through the API, marking OpenAI's ongoing effort to refine its AI technology. The focus of this upgrade is to enhance the model’s reasoning capabilities and maintain consistency in generating responses, directly addressing shortcomings found in previous models.
The o3-pro model is designed to handle tasks requiring deep analytical thinking and advanced reasoning. While built upon the same transformer architecture and deep learning techniques as other OpenAI chatbots, o3-pro distinguishes itself with an improved ability to understand context. Some users have noted that o3-pro feels like o3, but is only modestly better in exchange for being slower.
Comparisons with other leading models such as Claude 4 Opus and Gemini 2.5 Pro reveal interesting insights. While Claude 4 Opus has been praised for prompt following and understanding user intentions, Gemini 2.5 Pro stands out for its price-to-performance ratio. Early user experiences suggest o3-pro might not always be worth the expense due to its speed, except for research purposes. Some users have suggested that o3-pro hallucinates modestly less, though this is still being debated.

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.
