OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, brings GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini Models to its powerful ChatGPT apps. The higher GPT-4.1 will appear for the users on the ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team plans. According to the reports GPT-4.1 mini will be available for the free users, which will enhance the output and coding capabilities in ChatGPT. The introduction of GPT-4.1 models into ChatGPT will reduce the cost for end users while enhancing the output.

It is noted that until now the GPT-4.1 was only available for the API users, where users were able to access the feature of this model using API access. Now this high performance GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini dropped for the ChatGPT users, which is offering improved coding capabilities and smarter instruction handling.

This news is another milestone in the history of GPT and ChatGPT, which makes ChatGPT much smarter. Developers and general users are using ChatGPT globally for various tasks like generating articles, writing code, writing emails etc. The introduction of GPT-4.1 to ChatGPT will make it more useful.

Availability of GPT-4.1

OpenAI announced the availability of GPT-4.1 to ChatGPT via a post on the X (formerly Twitter), which revealed the availability of this model for the ChatGPU users with the ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team plans. This model is more capable then the o3 model. Company is marketing GPT-4.1 primarily as a proficient coding model. 

GPT-4.1 for Power users

In the coming weeks OpenAI will also provide the access to GPT-4.1 models to ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu users. For the free users, the company is also planning to swap the existing GPT-4o mini with the GPT-4.1, which will bring noticeable improvements. So, ChatGPT is growing fast and coming with the latest innovations.

Features and Benchmarks

The GPT-4.1 is much better in coding performance as compared to GPT-4o and GPT-4.5. In the SWE-bench Verified benchmark it scored 54.6 percent. SWE-bench evaluates software engineering task performance. GPT-4.1 also scored 38.3 percent on the MultiChallenge benchmark. The MultiChallenge benchmark is used for assessing complex instructions. 

The GPT-4.1 is the most advanced model, while the GPT-4.1 mini model isn’t behind when performance is considered. According to OpenAI GPT-4.1 mini surpasses GPT-4o in multiple intelligence benchmarks. This model is significantly more affordable while costing 83 percent less than GPT-4o.

The GPT-4.1 mini comes with minimal impact which can be used by developers and users looking for the cheapest and faster alternatives.

The GPT-4.1 models excel at coding and are supposed to help software engineers using ChatGPT for generating code or using it for code debugging. According to OpenAI GPT-4.1 when compared to GPT-4o provides better and faster results.
