OpenAI continues its progress in the field of artificial intelligence with GPT-4.1. The company’s new model was developed by putting it on top of the GPT-4O introduced last year. This model, which attracts attention with its performance increase and cost advantage, offers new opportunities for developers. It leaves GPT-4O behind in particular to write code and understanding instructions.
GPT-4.1 is not only more talented, but also more economical. While developing this new model, OpenAI seems to have taken the price-performance balance. According to the statements made, the GPT-4.1 is offered at a cost of 26 percent lower than the GPT-4O. This difference creates a serious advantage, especially in large -scale applications.
OpenAI GPT-4.1 model can detect one million token context
One of the most striking features of the GPT-4.1 was to support the 1 million token context window. This means that the model can understand more text, visual or video content at the same time. Considering the 128,000 token limit of the GPT-4O, this development represents a serious leap. However, this capacity increase is not limited to numbers; The comprehension skill of the model’s context is also noticeably increased.
OpenAI introduced two new models with GPT-4.1: GPT-4.1 Mini and GPT-4.1 Nano. The mini version offers a structure that can work with less sources than previous versions. Nano, on the other hand, has been announced as the smallest and fastest model that has developed so far. These two options provide scalable solutions according to different needs.
GPT-4.1’s success in perceiving the relevant content, especially in long texts, stands out. The model can filter the distraction elements and highlight only meaningful content. In this way, more stable results can be obtained in both short and long inputs. In addition, a significant improvement has been achieved during the response time of the system.
OpenAI is preparing to say goodbye to the GPT-4 model with the introduction of GPT-4.1. The two-year GPT-4 used in Chatgpt will be removed from the system as of April 30. The GPT-4O is now the default model. In addition, the GPT-4.5 preview version will be terminated on July 14.
Innovations are not limited to GPT-4.1; OpenAI’s models focusing on logical reasoning are also on the agenda. The O4 Mini model, which is designed in a lighter structure with the full version called O3, will soon be introduced. The first signs of these models appeared in the latest updated web version of Chatgpt. Thus, the company is on its way to increasing the diversity of models that appeal to different fields.
The GPT-4O’s ability to create an image last month attracted great attention. The intensification of demands led the company to impose temporary access restrictions on some free accounts. This development also reveals the strong hardware needs of new models. Nevertheless, the flexibility of the system manages to keep the user experience in balance.
The GPT-5 model will be late than expected. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, this process is more complex than the assumption, he said. According to the statement, the new model will be available in “a few months”. In the light of all this, the GPT-4.1 has become the most powerful option before the GPT-5, albeit temporarily.
