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.
O1 series models
- O1 series models (o1-preview and o1-mini) include reasoning steps in their responses
- This means they may generate more detailed explanations and therefore consume more output tokens than other models
- Consider this when planning your token budget
