The GPT-4o Mini has been rolled out to all ChatGPT users including those on the free, Plus, and Team plans, with the Enterprise clients being expected to get it next week.
In his speech at the Microsoft Build conference, OpenAI’s Sam Altman introduced the GPT-4o Mini, emphasizing that it is designed to work in harmony with other platforms while being more effective and efficient. There are ongoing plans of improving the model by adding image, video, and audio processing to make it more interactive for users.
Competitive Pricing and Performance
The GPT-4o Mini is offered at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens, which is 60% lower than the GPT-3.5 Turbo. This pricing model aims at onboarding a wider range of developers especially when companies like Google and Meta are ramping up their AI products.
As for the performance, the GPT-4o Mini has excelled in the GPT-4 model launched in May in the chat preferences and scored 82% on the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) test.
This score represents a high levels of language comprehension and application in a range of contexts, which improves practical value. As for the rivals from other companies, such as Google’s Gemini Flash and Anthropic’s Claude Haiku, the latter received a lower score, which proves that GPT-4o Mini is more effective.
Controversies Surrounding OpenAI
While these developments are taking place, OpenAI is facing accusations from an employee’s complaint that the company has adopted severe and intrusive severance and nondisclosure agreements that limit employees’ ability to report potential issues.
This complaint submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this month alleges that these agreements are against federal whistleblower protections.
To these allegations, OpenAI representative Hannah Wong said,
“Our whistleblower policy enables employees to report such matters and it is important to have a conversation about this kind of technology; therefore, we have changed our exit agreements not to include nondisparagement clauses.”
