GPT-4o (2024-08-06)

GPT-4o (August 2024 release) is OpenAI's multimodal large language model that processes text and images with a 128K token context window.

Strengths

Handles both text and image inputs with strong performance across general language tasks, reasoning, and code generation.

Best for

Production workloads requiring multimodal input handling and balanced capability across a wide range of NLP and vision tasks, though newer o-series models offer extended reasoning capabilities for complex problem-solving.

Limitations

Lacks the extended chain-of-thought reasoning of o1 and o3 Mini models; for simpler tasks or strict latency requirements, GPT-4o-mini offers a lighter-weight alternative.
