GPT-4.1 Mini

OpenAI released 2025-04-14

$0.700 per million tokens, balanced

GPT-5.6 Luna is both better and cheaper.

It scores +37.5 higher and costs 36% less ($0.450/M against $0.700/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 is cheaper still (85% less) but drops no image, file input.

The same model via batch is 50% cheaper ($0.350/M) — same weights, different latency.

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.
