OpenAI has just launched the release of its latest family of models.
The family of models consists of GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini, and GPT-4.1 Nano.
They are available exclusively through the OpenAI API. This means you won't directly interact with "GPT-4.1 ChatGPT" in the same way you might use the standard ChatGPT interface.
These models are specifically designed for integration into applications, services, and workflows through programmatic access.
What is GPT 4.1?
GPT 4.1 is the latest family of large language models unveiled by OpenAI.
The new models outperform predecessors GPT‑4o and GPT‑4o mini with massive advances in both coding and following instructions.
Large Context Window
The new models have a larger context window which means they can process and understand much longer sequences of text in a single input.
This allows GPT-4.1 to take in entire documents, long conversations, extensive codebases, or even multiple related pieces of information simultaneously.
The larger context window will significantly enhance the model's ability to maintain coherence and consistency over longer outputs whilst improving the model's capacity for more complex reasoning and information synthesis.
Improved Coding Skills
GPT 4.1 shows significant improvements in coding skills across a variety of industry benchmarks compared to its predecessors.
Improvements are especially noticeable in code editing reliability, frontend development, adherence to formats, and the ability to work with large codebases
The improved coding skills, combined with better instruction following and long-context comprehension, make the GPT-4.1 family more effective for creating AI agents that can independently accomplish complex coding tasks on behalf of users.
Benchmarks show it solves coding problems much more accurately than previous versions. Improved code editing means GPT 4.1 shows better judgment in only the necessary changes and not messing up other parts.
When asked to create websites, reviewers overwhelmingly preferred the ones built by GPT-4.1 compared to the older version.
Ultimately, the GPT-4.1 family of large language models is a big upgrade for developers. It's more accurate, more reliable, better at following instructions, and can handle much more complex coding tasks.
How To Use GPT 4.1?
Unlike previous releases like GPT 5.0, you cannot directly use GPT-4.1 through regular ChatGPT.
The GPT-4.1 family (GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini, and GPT-4.1 Nano) is currently exclusively available through the OpenAI API.
To access GPT 4.1:
- Sign up for an OpenAI account: If you don't already have one, you'll need to create an account on the OpenAI website.
- Obtain an API key: Once you have an account, you'll need to generate an API key from your account dashboard. This key is essential for authenticating your requests to the OpenAI API.
- Install the OpenAI Python library.
- You'll need to write code that uses your API key to send requests to the OpenAI API, specifying the GPT-4.1 model you want to use and the prompt you want to provide.
