OpenAI Brings GPT-4.1 And GPT-4.1 Mini For Paid And Free Users: All Details
Last Updated: OpenAI is bringing the new iteration of the GPT 4.1 model that available for both paid and free users with different limits and features. OpenAI has announced the latest AI models, GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 Mini, now available the to ChatGPT users. These models are now being integrated into the ChatGPT interface, significantly broadening access for both free and subscription-based users. This decision comes in response to widespread user demand and the increasing need for advanced AI tools, particularly in software development and technical tasks. The GPT-4.1 model is now available to subscribers of ChatGPT Plus, Pro and Team plans, while GPT-4.1 Mini can be accessed by all users, including those on the free tier. In parallel, OpenAI has confirmed that it will be removing the GPT-4o Mini model from ChatGPT, streamlining its lineup and prioritizing newer models that offer superior performance. Designed with developers in mind, GPT-4.1 provides faster response times and enhanced capabilities in areas like coding, debugging and web development. It outperforms the now-retired GPT-4o Mini in both speed and command execution, making it particularly well-suited for users who rely on AI for technical productivity. Despite these improvements, OpenAI has clarified that GPT-4.1 does not qualify as a 'frontier model" — a classification reserved for models that introduce fundamentally new capabilities or interaction modalities. Therefore, it is not held to the same stringent safety reporting standards as frontier models. In addressing questions about the model's security and safety protocols, Johannes Heidecke, OpenAI's Head of Safety Systems, stated via a post on X, 'GPT-4.1 builds on the safety work and mitigations developed for GPT-4o. Across our standard safety evaluations, GPT-4.1 performs at parity with GPT-4o, showing that improvements can be delivered without introducing new safety risks." Heidecke further emphasised that, while GPT-4.1 represents a notable upgrade, it does not surpass the 'o3" level in terms of intelligence or interaction capabilities. 'It didn't bring in new ways of interacting with AI models," he added, explaining why GPT-4.1, though improved, remains within the bounds of OpenAI's existing model safety classification. This development also follows OpenAI's earlier move on April 30 to phase out the GPT-4.0 model entirely from ChatGPT. The decision was aimed at reducing confusion among users by simplifying model options and focusing on newer, more capable versions. First Published: May 19, 2025, 08:10 IST

OpenAI adds GPT-4.1 models to ChatGPT
OpenAI has announced that their GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini AI models will now be available in ChatGPT. The models were earlier accessible just through the OpenAI API post their launch a month ago. The AI firm will be moving out the GPT-4o mini AI model from ChatGPT. The GPT-4.1 model excels at coding and web development tasks while being faster than GPT-4o. 'GPT-4.1 builds on the safety work and mitigations developed for GPT-4o. Across our standard safety evaluations, GPT-4.1 performs at parity with GPT-4o, showing that improvements can be delivered without introducing new safety risks,' Johannes Heidecke, OpenAI's head of Safety Systems noted on X. He added that while GPT-4.1 was an improvement, it didn't surpass 'o3 in intelligence,' because it didn't bring in new ways of interacting with AI models. Recently, on April 30, OpenAI removed GPT-4 from ChatGPT.

OpenAI brings its GPT-4.1 models to ChatGPT
OpenAI is releasing its GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini AI models in ChatGPT, the company announced in a post on X Wednesday. The GPT-4.1 models should help software engineers who are using ChatGPT to write or debug code, OpenAI spokesperson Shaokyi Amdo told TechCrunch. GPT-4.1 excels at coding and instruction following compared to GPT-4o, according to OpenAI, but is faster than its o-series of reasoning models. The company says it's now rolling out GPT-4.1 to subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team. Meanwhile, OpenAI is releasing GPT-4.1 mini for free and paying users of ChatGPT. As a result of this update, OpenAI is removing GPT-4.0 mini from ChatGPT for all users, the company notes in GPT-4.1's release notes. OpenAI launched GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini in April, but only released the models through its developer-facing API. At the time, the company faced criticism from the AI research community for shipping GPT-4.1 without a safety report. These researchers claimed OpenAI was lowering its standards around transparency into its AI models. However, OpenAI argued at the time that — despite GPT-4.1's improved performance and speed compared to GPT-4o — this model was not a frontier model, and thus did not require the same safety reporting that more capable models do. "GPT-4.1 doesn't introduce new modalities or ways of interacting with the model, and doesn't surpass o3 in intelligence," said OpenAI's Head of Safety Systems Johannes Heidecke in a post on X Wednesday. "This means that the safety considerations here, while substantial, are different from frontier models." Now, OpenAI is releasing more information about GPT-4.1 and all its AI models. Earlier on Wednesday, OpenAI committed to publish the results of its internal AI model safety evaluations more frequently as part of an effort to increase transparency. Those results will live in OpenAI's new Safety Evaluations Hub, which it launched on Wednesday. The release of GPT-4.1 in ChatGPT comes at a time when there's increased attention on AI coding tools. OpenAI is reportedly nearing the announcement of its $3 billion acquisition of Windsurf, one of the most popular AI coding tools on the market. Earlier on Wednesday, Google updated its Gemini chatbot to connect more easily to GitHub projects. Sign in to access your portfolio
