OpenAI: GPT-4o-mini

GPT-4o-mini, released on July 17, 2024, is OpenAI's advanced small model, supporting both text and image inputs with text outputs. It consistently ranks among the fastest models, performing in the 82nd percentile across benchmarks, and offers competitive pricing, typically providing cost-effective solutions in the 74th percentile. The model demonstrates exceptional reliability with a 100% success rate across all evaluated benchmarks, indicating minimal technical failures. In terms of performance, GPT-4o-mini excels in Ethics and General Knowledge, achieving perfect accuracy in Ethics and 99.5% in General Knowledge, often being the most accurate among models of comparable speed and price. It also shows strong performance in Coding (87.0% accuracy) and Email Classification (98.0% accuracy). However, its performance in Hallucinations (76.0% accuracy) suggests room for improvement in acknowledging uncertainty, and its scores in Mathematics (71.0%) and Reasoning (56.0%) indicate these areas are relative weaknesses compared to its other strengths. Despite these, its overall intelligence and cost-effectiveness make it a compelling option.
