Overview

Freshness note: Model capabilities, limits, and pricing can change quickly. This profile is a point-in-time snapshot last verified on February 15, 2026.

GPT-4.1 is positioned as a versatile long-context model for mixed tasks across analysis, generation, and workflow automation. It remains relevant for teams needing stability and strong ecosystem tooling without moving all workloads to the newest flagship tier.

Capabilities

The model handles long-document synthesis, instruction-following, and mixed business/engineering tasks well. It is effective for structured outputs and assistant behaviors where consistency is more important than extreme reasoning depth.

Technical Details

GPT-4.1 emphasizes broad compatibility and long context usage. It supports multimodal-style workflows in API ecosystems that allow mixed input types, with strong utility in enterprise document-heavy pipelines.

Pricing & Access

Accessible via OpenAI API products and partner environments that surface OpenAI models. Pricing and feature sets can vary, so teams should validate current plan details from official OpenAI documentation.

Best Use Cases

Best for enterprise copilots, policy and contract analysis, multi-document synthesis, and production chat systems requiring high reliability over novelty.

Comparisons

Compared with GPT-5, GPT-4.1 is typically less capable on hardest reasoning tasks but can still be operationally effective for many production workflows. Compared with Claude Opus 4.6, GPT-4.1 may be chosen for OpenAI ecosystem fit. Compared with Gemini 2.5 Pro, choice depends on multimodal needs, cost targets, and integration context.
