Important notes
Vision capability
- Both GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini support vision capabilities, allowing them to process and analyze images
- ⚠️ Known issue with GPT-4o-mini: There are tokenization issues when processing images with GPT-4o-mini that may result in unexpectedly high input token counts. For vision tasks at this price point, we recommend using Claude 3 Haiku instead.

o4-mini & o4 series models
o4-mini- Cost-effective GPT-o model- o4 series models (such as o4-mini) include reasoning steps in their responses. This means they may generate more detailed explanations and therefore consume more output tokens than other models. Please consider this when planning your token budget.
