Openai, the company behind Chatgpt, is aware that its artificial intelligence model remains the reference in an increasingly saturated market of alternatives. With weight rivals such as Copilot or Gemini gaining ground, the company does not lower the guard and continues to bet on constant innovation. Proof of this is the imminent launch of its new models: GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini and GPT-4.1 Nano.
These new versions are already available through the company's API and will soon reach all users through the official application.
New chatgpt models: how are they
Although they are not yet integrated in Chatgpt, these models are such a significant advance that there is already talk of a paradigm shift, especially in the scope of programming and the management of long contexts. And it is not for less: the new GPT-4.1 overcome their predecessors, including the acclaimed GPT-4O and the very GPT-4.5, which is officially obsolete with this update.
The Great Baza of GPT-4.1 is in its capacity to Understand and generate code With unprecedented precision. In the tests that have been done, this new model has shown an improvement of 21.4 % against GPT-4O and 26.6 % compared to GPT-4.5 in programming tasks. This not only implies better results, but also an important leap of quality in regards to the monitoring of complex instructions and the understanding of extensive contexts, something essential in software development environments or large -scale data analysis.
One of the points that most attracts attention is its ability to manage up to one million context tokensan astronomical figure if we compare it with what they could do previous models. This improvement allows GPT-4.1 to understand and process extensive documents, complete code bases or long conversations without losing the thread. To understand us, the more context tokens a model can manage, the more “memory” you have to reason and work with large amounts of information without losing the thread.
More tokens, more intelligence
In addition, Openai has not limited himself to presenting a single version of this model. The company has also launched GPT-4.1 mini and GPT-4.1 Nano, Two more capped versions that maintain a good part of the power of the main model, but with advantages in terms of cost and speed. GPT-4.1 Mini Iguala, and even exceeds the performance of GPT-4O, but with a much lower latency and an 83 % lower cost. For its part, GPT-4.1 Nano is presented as the fastest and most economical solution, perfect for tasks such as textification, self-fulfilled or detection of simple patterns.
Prices also reflect Openai's ambition by democratizing access to these models. GPT-4.1 has a cost of 2 dollars per million input tokens and $ 8 per million departure. The Mini version reduces these costs to 0.40 and $ 1.60 respectively, while the Nano version barely costs $ 0.10 per million entrance tokens and 0.40 for the output.
It is important to note that, although GPT-4.1 is not yet available for Chatgpt users, many of their improvements are already beginning to join GPT-4O, and this integration will be expected in the coming months. All models share the same knowledge cut date: June 2024.
