What Did OpenAI Do This Week?

THE LITTLE GPT THAT CAN?

While the world grappled with a sea of blue screens thanks to CrwodStrike’s code push, OpenAI continued ‘to make advanced AI accessible to all’ with the release of its ‘most intelligent and small model’ yet this week dubbed ‘GPT-4o mini’. A less resource-intensive and cheaper to operate version of the standard GPT-4o model, mini will allow developers to integrate AI technology into a far wider range of products. As Greg Brockman puts it; “We built GPT-4o mini due to popular demand from developers. We ❤️ developers, and aim to provide them the best tools to convert machine intelligence into positive applications across every domain.”

OpenAI claims that GPT-4o mini is 60% cheaper to operate than GPT-3.5 Turbo and highlighted that the cost per token had dropped by 99% since 2022. Developers will pay 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens. OpenAI claimed that the GPT-4o mini is “the most capable and cost-efficient small model available today,” and they were not wrong. GPT-4o mini scores highly on textual intelligence and reasoning (82% on MMLU), math, coding, and multimodal reasoning. Per data from Artificial Analysis, GPT-4o mini scored 82% on the MMLU reasoning benchmark, beating Gemini 1.5 Flash by 3% and Claude 3 Haiku by 7%. For reference, the highest MMLU benchmark to date was set by Gemini Ultra, Google’s top-of-the-line AI, with a score of 90%.

GPT-4o mini is available now to Free, Plus, and Team tiers through the ChatGPT web and app for users and developers. Enterprise subscribers will gain access this week. OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini was announced by Microsoft as available on Azure OpenAI Service, alongside safety and performance upgrades. GPT-4o mini will replace OpenAI’s existing small model GPT-3.5 Turbo. GPT-3.5 Turbo isn’t going away altogether. Users will still be able to access it through the API. The company says it will retire the older model eventually but has not yet set a date.

GPT-4o has been available to free ChatGPT accounts since May, but there have been limitations around demand. According to the updated FAQ page, GPT-4o still has those limitations in place, but free users will now get downgraded to GPT-4o mini rather than GPT-3.5 when they hit your limit. There are trends at play here…
