GPT-5 Nano

by OpenAI

Released 2 days after GPT OSS 120B Β· All OpenAI releases

GPT-5 Nano is the fastest and most lightweight version of GPT-5, designed for tasks where speed matters most. With a 272k token context window and support for text and image input, structured output, and tool use, it covers a wide range of practical applications. The model is well suited to summarization, classification, and other simple tasks, serving as the lightest-weight option in OpenAI's GPT-5 lineup. It is a good fit for high-volume applications, responsive subagents, and workloads where latency directly shapes the product experience. Note that GPT-5.4 Nano offers improvements over this variant, with faster latency and stronger reasoning and tool use, making it the recommended choice for new projects.

Get started

Call GPT-5 Nano through the qynio gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β€” qynio is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "openai/gpt-5-nano",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
