Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
o3 mini is $94.50 cheaper per million tokens. o3 Pro supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
OpenAI
OpenAI o3 mini, released by OpenAI in January 2025, is a compact reasoning model from the o3 family designed for efficient, cost-effective STEM problem-solving. It features a 200K token context window and adjustable chain-of-thought effort settings, allowing developers to trade reasoning depth for speed. o3 mini targets science, mathematics, and coding applications where lower inference cost and faster response times are a priority.
OpenAI
OpenAI o3-pro, released by OpenAI in June 2025, is an extended reasoning model from the o3 family that applies more compute per response to deliver deeper, more thorough answers on complex problems. It features a 200K token context window, 100K maximum output tokens, and vision capabilities. o3-pro targets research-grade reasoning tasks, extended coding sessions, and applications where accuracy on difficult problems justifies higher inference cost and latency.
