GPT-4.1 probably is a distilled version of GPT-4.5 I dont understand the constant complaining about naming conventions. The number system differentiates the models based on capability, any other method would not do that. After ten models with random names like "gemini", "nebula" you would have no idea which is which. Its a low IQ take. You dont name new versions of software as completely different software Also, Yest…

> The number system differentiates the models based on capability, any other method would not do that. Please rank GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1-nano, GPT-4.1-mini, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, o1-mini, o1, o1 pro, o3-mini, o3-mini-high, o3, and o4-mini in terms of capability without consulting any documentation.

Very easy with the naming system?

It seems that OpenAI is really differentiating itself in the AI market by developing the most incomprehensible product names in the history of software.

I wonder how they decide whether the o or the digit needs to come first. (eg. o3 vs 4o)

GPT-4.1 Pricing (per 1M tokens): gpt-4.1 - Input: $2.00 - Cached Input: $0.50 - Output: $8.00 gpt-4.1-mini - Input: $0.40 - Cached Input: $0.10 - Output: $1.60 gpt-4.1-nano - Input: $0.10 - Cached Input: $0.025 - Output: $0.40

The cached input price is notable here: previously with GPT-4o it was 1/2 the cost of raw input, now it's 1/4th.

It's still not as notable as Claude's 1/10th the cost of raw input, but it shows OpenAI's making improvements in this area.

The big change about this announcement is the 1M context window on all models. But the price is what matters.

Nothing compared to Llama 4's 7M. What matters is how well it performs with such long context, not what the technical maximum is.
