# GPT-4.1 Nano

OpenAI · released 2025-04-14

 $0.175 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 scores higher and costs less — but you would give something up.

**+42.2** on the capability index and **40% cheaper** ($0.105/M against $0.175/M). What you lose:

 - no image, file input

Capability scores do not measure context length, output ceiling or which inputs a model accepts, so a higher score does not mean a drop-in replacement.

The same model via **batch** is 50% cheaper ($0.087/M) — same weights, different latency.

### Every price dimension

| Input | $0.100 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $0.400 /M |
| Cached input | $0.025 /M |
| Web search | $0.01 /call |

### Independent scores

| Intelligence | 9.6 |
| --- | --- |
| Coding | 11.1 |
| Agentic | 1.2 |

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.

### Capability

| Context window | 1.0M |

| Max output | 33K |
| Input modes | image, text, file |
| Tool use | yes |
| Reasoning | no |
