OpenAIs coding model was launched in the API only on April 14th, and reduced costs compared to GPT 4.5.

It also comes with a large context window of 1 million «tokens.» These are compute units that roughly translates to 750,000 words — so this model can read and output very large files or codebases.

It should be available under the model selector menu by clicking on «More models.»

UPDATE: It seems that without announcement of fanfare, free users on ChatGPT.com now get 4.1-mini as the new default model, a step up from the previous 4o-mini.

Despite some reports, GPT-4.1 does not appear to be the default for paid users—ChatGPT Plus still opens with GPT-4o as standard

By popular request, GPT-4.1 will be available directly in ChatGPT starting today.

GPT-4.1 is a specialized model that excels at coding tasks & instruction following. Because it’s faster, it’s a great alternative to OpenAI o3 & o4-mini for everyday coding needs.

This means changing the structure of it’s operational, for profit Limited Liability Company (LLC) to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that will be controlled by it’s non-profit entity intended to «ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity,» OpenAI writes in a blog post.

A Public Benefit Corporation is a profit-based company that legally commits to both profit and purpose — like «advancing AI for all» — and must consider that mission alongside shareholder value. It also has to publish a yearly «public benefit» report. It’s essentially a mission-specific corporate vehicle.

The new reasoning models are managing an ever so slight lead in many benchmarks and therefore earns the right to be called state of the art, but of particular note is that they improve on GPT o1 and o3-mini by almost 30% in the coding benchmark SWE-Bench Verified, OpenAI claims in their launch post.

— These are the smartest models we’ve released to date, representing a step change in ChatGPT’s capabilities for everyone from curious users to advanced researchers, says OpenAI.

On Monday night, though, the AI company launched ChatGPT 4.1, 4.1-mini and 4.1-nano, which at first seem a bit underwhelming.

While you might be getting tired of ChatGPT’s word salad lineup, these latest models offer mostly cost efficiency and larger input levels for coding tasks. They won’t be available in the app — but are instead rolled out on the API.

The money raised by the ChatGPT maker values the company at $300 billion, and is the most money raised by a private tech company ever, as it was the last time they raised a mere $6.6 billion back in October 2024.

In fact, the funding is three times the previous high note in funding for tech companies.
