1. Extremely fast performance

• Fastest model in the GPT-5 family.
• Great for real-time workflows, rapid responses, and high-throughput systems.

2. Most cost-efficient GPT-5 model

• Lowest input and output token costs.
• Suitable for large-scale or budget-sensitive applications.

3. Ideal for lightweight, well-scoped tasks

• Excels at summarization, classification, text extraction, and simple logic tasks.
• Best used when tasks are narrow and well-defined.

4. Multimodal input

• Accepts text + image as input.
• Outputs text only.

5. Broad tool support

• Supports Web Search, File Search, Image Generation (as a tool), Code Interpreter, and MCP.
• (Does not support Computer Use.)

1. Ultra-Fast, Low-Latency Performance

• The fastest model in the GPT-4.1 family, ideal for real-time interactions and high-throughput applications.
• Designed for scenarios where speed matters more than complex reasoning.

2. Most Cost-Efficient GPT-4.1 Variant

• Lowest price point among GPT-4.1 models.
• Enables large-scale deployments such as support bots, routing systems, and lightweight assistants without high compute costs.

3. Solid Instruction Following
