OpenAI GPT-4.1 model series is now accessible through ChatGPT, as per an announcement made last Wednesday. These were previously available on the OpenAI API after the launch in April 2025.
Replacing one of the most affordable and efficient models, GPT-4o, OpenAI sets GPT-4.1 as the default option for ChatGPT users. The new models can be highly beneficial for coding tasks, software development, instruction-following activities, and more, empowering developers and researchers.
Open AI has stated on X, “By popular request, GPT-4.1 will be available directly in ChatGPT starting today....”
GPT 4.1 Features to Look Out For:
Coding: With a 54.6% score on SWE-bench Verified, GPT-4.1 is highly capable of revolving coding challenges, addressing front-end coding, and having limited possibilities for extraneous edits.
Vision: The latest OpenAI model includes advanced image understanding abilities, which evidently outperforms the previous models.
Instruction Following: GPT-4.1 attained a 38.3% score on the instruction following benchmark, Scale’s MultiChallenge, reflecting high performance.
Long Context: GPT-4.1 scored 72% on the multimodal long context assessment benchmark, Video-MME. The accomplishment makes it an appropriate model for processing large codebases.
How to Use OpenAI’s Latest Model?
The GPT-4.1 flagship is available for paid members of ChatGPT as of now. It is easily accessible for Plus, Pro, and Team accounts. However, the free users will continue using GPT-4o till further announcements. Hence, to use the newest OpenAI GPT-4.1 models, users need to subscribe to the paid version.
For developers, GPT-4.1 is available on the OpenAI API. The firm is positioning the latest AI models as the most powerful and cost-effective algorithms so far, specifically designed for developers and engineers to enhance their code. The pricing structures for the OpenAI GPT-4.1 flagship include input costs starting from $2/million tokens. On the other hand, for the nano version, the input costs start at just $0.10/million tokens. Notably, OpenAI hasn’t mentioned anything about GPT-4.1 Nano, the fastest, smallest, and cheapest model, in the recent announcement.
