Performance Summary

GPT-5 Nano demonstrates moderate speed performance, ranking in the 39th percentile across various benchmarks, indicating it is not among the fastest but offers reasonable processing times. Its pricing is competitive, placing it in the 45th percentile, making it a cost-effective option for many applications. A standout feature is its exceptional reliability, achieving a 100% success rate across all benchmarks, signifying minimal technical failures and consistent response delivery. The model exhibits perfect accuracy in General Knowledge and Hallucinations benchmarks, proving highly effective in factual recall and appropriately acknowledging uncertainty. It shows strong performance in Email Classification (99.0% accuracy), Reasoning (96.0% accuracy), Mathematics (94.0% accuracy), and Coding (93.0% accuracy), indicating robust capabilities in these domains. While its Ethics score is moderate at 98.0% (42nd percentile), its Instruction Following accuracy is 69.0% (81st percentile), suggesting a notable strength in handling complex directives despite the lower raw accuracy score. Key strengths include its high accuracy in knowledge-based tasks, strong reasoning and mathematical abilities, and unparalleled reliability. Its primary limitation appears to be its moderate speed, which might not suit all ultra-low latency requirements despite its "Nano" designation.
