OpenAI releases cheaper and lighter model for developers
Kyiv • UNN
OpenAI has introduced GPT-4o Mini, a more affordable version of GPT-4 for developers. The model supports text and images, and in the future will process video and audio, replacing GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT.
OpenAI is releasing a lighter and cheaper model for developers called GPT-4o Mini, UNN reports with reference to The Verge.

It is much cheaper than full-size models and is considered to be more productive than GPT-3.5.
"I think the GPT-4o Mini really fulfills OpenAI's mission of making artificial intelligence more accessible to people. If we want AI to benefit every corner of the world, every industry, every application, we need to make AI much more accessible," Olivier Gaudemand, Head of API Platform, told The Verge.
Starting July 18, ChatGPT users with Free, Plus, and Team plans can use GPT-4o Mini instead of GPT-3.5 Turbo, and Enterprise users will have access the following week. This means that GPT-3.5 will no longer be available to ChatGPT users, but it will still be available to developers through the API if they prefer not to upgrade to GPT-4o Mini. Godement said that GPT-3.5 will be released from the API at some point - they're just not sure when.
"I think it will be very popular," Godement said.
The new, lightweight model will also support text and images in the API, and the company says it will soon handle all multimodal inputs and outputs, such as video and audio. With all these capabilities, it could look like more capable virtual assistants that can understand your travel itinerary and create suggestions. However, the model is designed for simple tasks, the publication notes.
