GPT-5 Mini
Model family: gpt-5
GPT-5 Mini — the cheaper multimodalA model that can handle more than one type of input or output — typically text plus images, sometimes plus audio or video. "GPT-4 Vision" and "Llama 3.2 11B Vision" are multimodal models that accept both text and images. A text-only model is called "unimodal" but nobody uses that term; text-only is the assumed default. GPT-5 tier, superseded by the GPT-5.4 mini line.
