GPT-4o mini: advancing cost-efficient intelligence
OpenAI released GPT-4o mini on July 18, 2024 at $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.60 per 1M output tokens, replacing GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT. It supports text and vision, offers a 128K context window and 16K max output, scores 82.0% on MMLU and 87.2% on HumanEval. The key detail for builders is that its API version is the first to use instruction hierarchy against jailbreaks and prompt injection.
Why it matters: GPT-4o mini's price per million input tokens and its replacement of GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT set a new floor for cheap inference, and the instruction hierarchy shows how OpenAI handles jailbreaks.
