Hold onto your keyboards, tech lovers! OpenAI just dropped its new GPT-4o mini—a budget-friendly AI model that’s 60% cheaper than its predecessor while packing a serious punch. Priced at 15 cents per million input tokens, this ‘mini’ is anything but small on brains, scoring 82% on the MMLU benchmark (that’s higher than Google’s Gemini Flash and Claude Haiku!).
Why care? Smaller models like this mean startups and indie devs can finally jump into AI without draining their wallets. Plus, it’s eco-friendly—less energy, more innovation.
And guess what? Free ChatGPT users get access today, with Enterprise folks joining next week!
Future upgrades? Think multimodal magic: text, images, video, and audio all in one. OpenAI’s basically building the Swiss Army knife of AI.
With Meta and Google racing to dominate AI, this move keeps OpenAI in the spotlight. For young entrepreneurs and tech newbies? It’s game on.
