Start building free
gpt-4.1-mini is an OpenAI language model in the GPT-4.1 family, designed as a lightweight, lower-cost, and faster variant compared with the larger GPT-4.1 models. It aims to deliver strong general-purpose capabilities—such as conversation, code assistance, content generation, and basic reasoning—while being optimized for high throughput and low latency in production applications. This tier is typically well-suited for chatbots, simple agents, tooling integration, and everyday developer use where responsiveness and cost efficiency matter more than maximum raw capability. It is generally positioned as a good default for many workloads that don’t require the full power of the largest frontier models.

Every request must include an Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> header. Generate a token from your account's API Keys page — its access to models is set automatically from your active plans and redeemed codes, and you can set its rate limit and IP restrictions.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
model | string, required | This model's ID, exactly as shown above. |
messages | array, required | Conversation history as role/content objects (system, user, assistant). |
temperature | number, optional | Sampling randomness, typically 0–2. |
max_tokens | integer, optional | Upper limit on tokens generated in the reply. |
top_p | number, optional | Nucleus-sampling threshold, as an alternative to temperature. |
stream | boolean, ignored | Responses are always returned in full so the exact cost can be billed; streaming is not available. |
