GPT-4.1 Mini

POST/v1/chat/completions

GPT-4.1 Mini is a mid-sized model delivering performance competitive with GPT-4o at substantially lower latency and cost. It retains a 1 million token context window and scores 45.1% on hard instruction evals, 35.8% on MultiChallenge, and 84.1% on IFEval. Mini also shows strong coding ability (e.g., 31.6% on Aider’s polyglot diff benchmark) and vision understanding, making it suitable for interactive applications with tight performance constraints.

Request body

Parameters supported by this model. Values, defaults, and limits are read from the model registry.

stringmodelrequired

Model identifier. Set to openai/gpt-4.1-mini.

Default: openai/gpt-4.1-mini

array<object>messagesrequired

Conversation messages in system, user, or assistant order.

Optional<integer>max_tokens

Maximum number of tokens the model may generate in the response.

Range: −∞ to 32768

Optional<number>temperature

Sampling temperature. Lower values are more deterministic; higher values are more creative.

Range: 0 to 2

Default: 1

Optional<number>top_p

Nucleus sampling threshold. Use this or temperature, but usually not both.

Range: 0 to 1

Optional<boolean>stream

When true, returns incremental Server-Sent Events instead of one completed response.

Default: false

Optional<array>tools

Tool definitions that the model may call during the response.

Optional<string>tool_choice

Controls whether the model may call a tool and, when supported, which tool it must call.

Optional<object>response_format

Controls the response format, including JSON mode or structured JSON output when supported.

Optional<integer>seed

Seed used to make sampling more reproducible when the provider supports it.

Response Schema

Fields returned by this model API response.

array<object>choicesrequired

Generated completion choices.

stringidrequired

Unique chat completion identifier.

stringmodelrequired

Model that generated the response.

Optional<object>usage

Token usage when available.

Model capabilities

array<string>capability_tagsrequired

Capabilities declared by the model registry.

Default: chat, vision, structured_output, function_calling

integercontext_lengthrequired

Maximum context window accepted by this model.

Default: 1047576 tokens

stringexecution_moderequired
