ChatGPT Mini: AI models are getting small and strong

The latest version of ChatGPT was launched last week. It’s called ChatGPT-4o mini and is promoted as the most capable and cost-effective model available today.

This confirms the trend: Microsoft, Google, Mistral, Anthropic, Cohere, and now OpenAI are all presenting their own mini versions. GPT-4o mini will replace GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT. It’s more accurate and cheaper.

Why small models? Large models like GPT-4 are extremely expensive to build (over $100 million), so the developers charge more for their best models (which is why they limit GPT-4o usage on the free plan). Meanwhile, smaller models are trained with less data, are cheaper to operate, and work well for specific tasks.

Why it’s important
Intelligence is becoming increasingly affordable. This is important for the individual user, but also for large companies that need multiple plans with lower costs.
