What is the difference between GPT-4, GPT-4o, and GPT-4.5?

GPT-4 is OpenAI's flagship model. GPT-4o ("omni") adds native multimodal capabilities (vision, audio). GPT-4.5 offers improved reasoning and reduced hallucinations. Each version is an evolution with better performance and new capabilities.

Is GPT-4 still the best LLM?

GPT-4 family models remain among the top performers, competing closely with Claude Opus and Gemini Ultra. The "best" depends on your use case—GPT-4 excels at general tasks, Claude at long-context reasoning, Gemini at multimodal.

How much does GPT-4 API cost?

GPT-4o API costs approximately $2.50/million input tokens and $10/million output tokens. GPT-4 Turbo is more expensive. For most applications, GPT-4o offers the best price-to-performance ratio.

What is GPT-4o's context window?

GPT-4o supports 128K tokens of context (roughly 300 pages of text). This enables processing long documents, entire codebases, and extended conversations without losing earlier context.

Can GPT-4 see images?

Yes, GPT-4o and GPT-4 Vision can analyze images—photos, screenshots, diagrams, charts. They can describe content, extract text, answer questions about images, and even understand handwritten notes.

What is GPT-4 best at?

GPT-4 excels at complex reasoning, creative writing, code generation, and following nuanced instructions. It's particularly strong at tasks requiring world knowledge, multi-step logic, and adapting to different writing styles or formats.

Should I use GPT-4o or GPT-4o-mini?

Use GPT-4o-mini (90% cheaper) for simple tasks: classification, extraction, basic Q&A. Use GPT-4o for complex reasoning, creative work, and when quality matters most. Start with mini and upgrade only where needed.
