Summary

  • OpenAI has released a new family of AI models that it claims significantly outperform their predecessors at a lower cost.
  • GPT-4.1 and its lighter versions, GPT-4.1 mini and GPT-4.1 nano, are available immediately through the company’s API.
  • While the GPT-4.1 mini and nano versions are more lightweight and cost-effective versions of the flagship model, they still significantly outperform GPT-4 in areas such as following instructions, software engineering tasks and having a larger context window.
  • OpenAI’s new models are a challenge to Google and Anthropic’s offerings, and have been adopted by companies including Thomson Reuters and Carlyle.
  • The release shows OpenAI’s commitment to enterprise customers and developers, rather than consumers.
