Overview
A smaller, cheaper member of the GPT-5.1 family that keeps much of the reasoning quality at a fraction of the price. Configurable reasoning effort and strong instruction-following make it a popular middle ground for production assistants that need more than a budget open model but can't justify flagship pricing. First-party hosted.
