Cheah: Open Models Now Match Claude Sonnet and GPT-4o Mini
“So, and the, this growing collection of open models includes some of the best models that are already on par or surpass, let's say, Plot Sonnet or even GPT-A for Mini.”

GPT-4o Mini cannot accurately evaluate complex Claude 3.7 outputs
“GPD for a mini can't find, ah, cannot evaluate the hard outputs that's 3.7 might be doing correctly, right?”

Taylor: GPT-4o Mini is likely cheaper than self-hosting open-source models
“I haven't done the math on it, but it's probably cheaper to use that than to host, self-host any of the open source models.”

GPT-4.1 Mini significantly outperforms 4o Mini, nearing original GPT-4o performance
“4.1 mini is actually quite significantly better than four o mini and not that far away from the old four o.”

Weil: GPT-4o mini is 100x cheaper via API than GPT-3.5
“The original, I think the original, I don't know, what was it, GPT 3.5 or something, was like a hundred x the cost of GPT-Foro Mini today. In, in the API. So a couple years, you've gone down two orders of magnitude in in cost. For much more intelligence.”

Raycast built its Ray 1 models by fine-tuning GPT-4o and mini
“And so we looked into all the various models we had and then we picked, at the moment, it's gbd-for-o and gbd-for-o-mini, Which we basically did a fine tune to really optimize for our use case, and then basically shipping that in the app as Ray one and Ray one…”

OpenAI models remain the industry best for chained function calling
“And so we find like the open AI models function calling wise for our use case. So for the best ones and like, yeah, basically verifying the others. We had a beta group and testing different models. So basically from all providers and yeah, find basically the b…”

Shreya Shankar: GPT-4o Mini reduces DocETL optimization cost by 90%
“The reason it was a hundred dollars, if I ran the optimizer with GPT-Foro mini as the LLMs, it would be 10 dollars. But we use GPT four. Oh, just because I think we did this at a time where many hadn't come out yet.”

Hu: Top AI Products Use Multi-Model Pipelines Splitting Extraction and Reasoning
“I think this is actually a very common pattern that we're seeing a lot of the interesting products built with AI. You use different kinds of models. So, yes, four O mini is for PDF extraction, and then O one for the reasoning, because it's actually very hard t…”

Tan: OpenAI enabled internal model distillation as a developer lock-in strategy
“OpenAI itself has now enabled distillation internal to its own API. So you can use O-one, you can use even GPT-IV or IV-O to distill it down into a much cheaper model that's internal to them, like GPT-IV, IV-O-Mini. And that's sort of their, you know, lock-in …”

Swyx: Distilling GPT-4 to Mini cut costs 15x with 2% hit
“Yeah, I sat in the distillation session just now, and they showed how they distilled from four to four mini, and it was like only like a two percent hit in the performance, and 15 X cheaper.”

Swix: Multi-sampling GPT-4o mini before GPT-4o judging yields net savings
“If I call a GP for a mini 10 times and I do a number of drafts or summaries, and then I have four, oh, judge the summaries that actually is net savings and like a good enough savings then running four, oh, on everything, which given the hundreds and thousands …”

Structured response format is limited to GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini
“Actually, the new response format is only available on two models. It's Foro Mini and the new Foro. So the old Foro doesn't have the new response format. However, for function calling, we were able to enable it for all models that support function calling, and…”

Atiyeh: Ramp uses GPT-4o Mini for 90% of its production AI tasks
“Oh yeah, it's already in production, and for like, 90% of tasks that we're running, it's good enough, so that was a quick switch. And within a day, we can know very quickly, like, that, yes, this is, like, good enough, and we have the right evals.”
