GPT-5 Mini

by OpenAI

All OpenAI releases

GPT-5 Mini is a faster, more cost-efficient version of GPT-5 built for well-defined tasks and precise prompts. It delivers near-frontier intelligence for low-latency, high-volume workloads and works well as a fallback for users and organizations managing usage on larger models. With a 272k token context window, GPT-5 Mini supports text input and output, image input, structured output, and tool use. It excels at summarization, classification, data extraction, and lightweight reasoning where latency is a primary constraint. Note that GPT-5.4 Mini offers significant improvements over this variant, with more than 2x faster latency and stronger coding, reasoning, and multimodal understanding, making it the recommended choice for new projects that need small-model performance.
