Overview

GPT Mini Latest Description

Basic Information

Model Name: GPT Mini Latest

Developer/Creator: OpenAI

Model Type: Rolling alias (chat)

Overview:

GPT Mini Latest is not a fixed model — it is an alias that always resolves to OpenAI's newest Mini-tier model. As OpenAI ships a new Mini generation, requests to this endpoint automatically route to it, without any change to your code or model string.

Key Features:

Automatic upgrades to the newest Mini-tier model as OpenAI releases them

Function calling and structured outputs

400,000-token context window

Up to 128,000 output tokens per response

Intended Use:

Suited for cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads — classification, extraction, drafting, lightweight chat — where staying on the latest Mini-tier model matters more than pinning to a specific dated snapshot.

Technical Details

Context Window:

400,000 tokens.

Max Output:

Usage

Because this is a rolling alias, behavior and pricing can change when OpenAI updates which model it points to. For workloads that require a fixed, reproducible model version, use a dated snapshot instead of this alias.
