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, ultra-cheap

• Designed for mass-scale workloads.
• Excellent for rewriting, extraction, classification.

2. Limited reasoning but great utility

• High throughput, low latency.

3. Optional thinking mode

• Adds chain-of-thought when needed.

4. Supports context cache & batch calls

• Very cost-effective system design.
