AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — OpenAI
GPT-4o is a multimodal model from OpenAI, first released on May 13, 2024 (snapshot gpt-4o-2024-05-13, which OpenAI shuts down in the API on October 23, 2026). In the API it takes text and image input and returns text.
Model B — OpenAI
GPT-4o mini is a smaller, lower-priced model from OpenAI, released on July 18, 2024 (snapshot gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18). It takes text and image input and returns text.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
