OpenAI is launching a lightweight version of its flagship GPT-4o model.
Most AI companies, including Google and Meta, offer some kind of lightweight LLM.
These tiny models are intended for simple or repetitive tasks.
So, they’re often the best choice for app or software integration.
GPT-4o is the most affordable and lightweight model in OpenAI’s arsenal.
Exact benchmark scores should be published onArtificial Analysiswithin the coming days.
For those wondering, the “60% cheaper” claim is totally accurate.
Transiting to GPT-4o mini brings per-million token pricing down to $0.15 and $0.60, respectively.
A free user may choose the lightweight model to avoid hitting their daily GPT-4o usage cutoff, for example.
GPT-4o mini launches this afternoon (July 18th) and will be immediately available to all ChatGPT users.
Developers also gain immediate access, though enterprise customers must wait an extra week.
