According to OpenAI, GPT-4o Mini incorporates several key features designed to appeal to developers and average users alike. Built upon the GPT-4o model, it enhances faster performance in tasks involving mathematical reasoning, coding, and overall language comprehension.

It supports text and vision inputs initially, with plans to expand to include image, video, and audio interactions in future updates.

GPT-4o Mini has a c of 128,000 tokens, can remember and consider a larger amount of previous conversation or text compared to earlier versions like GPT-3. This capability will allow it to provide more coherent and contextually aware responses, as it can maintain a better understanding of ongoing dialogue or longer passages of text.

It is also affordable for developers who want to incorporate sophisticated AI features into their applications. The pricing structure specifies costs of 15 cents per million tokens processed as input and 60 cents per million tokens generated as output.

This setup is designed to keep operational expenses low, making it economically feasible for developers to leverage powerful AI capabilities in their projects without facing prohibitive costs.

GPT-4o Mini has good safety measures implemented by OpenAI. These measures include advanced AI safety protocols that prioritise developer prompts over inputs from third parties. According to OpenAI, this will help create a secure environment for interactions with the AI.

It will also reduce the potential risks associated with external vulnerabilities or malicious inputs. This means that developers using GPT-4o Mini can have greater confidence in the safety and reliability of their AI applications.

The AI’s architecture is structured to ensure that interactions are governed by developer-provided instructions, minimising the likelihood of unintended or harmful outputs stemming from external influences.
