Choosing the Right Model

Selecting the right model depends on your assistant’s purpose and workload:

For multimodal tasks (text, images, audio): Choose GPT-4o for high-performance voice and image processing or GPT-4o Mini for cost-effective multimodal applications.
For general-purpose chatbots: Use GPT-4.1 or GPT-4.1 Mini for versatile tasks like customer support, FAQs, or content generation. GPT-4.1 Nano is best for simple, high-speed tasks.
For advanced reasoning or coding: Select GPT-5.5 for the newest flagship (fastest and most capable) or GPT-5.5 Pro for maximum reasoning depth; GPT-5.4 for flagship coding and agentic tasks (with GPT-5.4 Mini, GPT-5.4 Nano and GPT-5.4 Pro variants); GPT-5.2 or GPT-5.1 for previous flagships, GPT-5 for complex workflows, GPT-5 Mini for precise technical tasks, or GPT-5 Nano for lightweight data processing.
For experimental or complex workflows: Try GPT-4.5 Preview for cutting-edge performance in long conversations or sophisticated applications.

Test your assistant’s performance with different models on the Playground page to find the best fit.
