A multimodal large language model from OpenAI that processes text and images with a 128K token context window.

Strengths

Handles both text and image inputs natively, balancing capability and inference speed across a wide range of tasks.

Best for

General-purpose applications that need multimodal reasoning without the extended thinking overhead of later reasoning models.

Limitations

Superseded by GPT-4o (2024-11-20) in November 2024, which added native structured output support; for real-time information, use GPT-4o Search Preview instead.
