Today, we&#8217;re announcing GPT-4o mini, our most cost-efficient small model. We expect GPT-4o mini will significantly expand the range of applications built with AI by making intelligence much more affordable. GPT-4o mini scores 82% on MMLU and currently outperforms GPT-4<sup><span id=\"citation-top-1\"><a class=\"no-underline align-bottom\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/gpt-4o-mini-advancing-cost-efficient-intelligence\/#citation-bottom-1\">1<\/a><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0on chat preferences in\u00a0<u>LMSYS leaderboard<\/u><span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in a new window)<\/span>.
