Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5 Mini offers 239.2K more tokens in context window than o1 mini. o1 mini is $19.50 cheaper per million tokens. GPT-5 Mini supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
GPT-5 mini, released by OpenAI in August 2025, is a smaller variant from the GPT-5 family that inherits GPT-5's unified reasoning architecture and multimodal capabilities at a reduced inference cost. It targets high-volume production use cases requiring a balance of intelligence and response speed, offering GPT-5 capabilities for applications where full GPT-5 inference costs are a concern.
OpenAI
OpenAI o1 mini, released by OpenAI in September 2024, is a lightweight reasoning model from the o1 family optimized for efficient STEM problem-solving at lower cost and latency. It features a 128K token context window and applies chain-of-thought reasoning specifically tuned for mathematics, science, and coding tasks. o1 mini targets use cases where rapid, cost-efficient reasoning is preferred over the broader capabilities of the full o1 model.
