Text Embedding 3 Small turns text of up to about 8 pages into a fingerprint of its meaning, so search finds passages that mean the same thing even when the words differ.

o4 Mini
by OpenAIReleased 16 April 2025
o4-mini reads text, pictures and files and writes back, keeping about 200 pages in mind at once. It is the small thinking model of its line: accurate on math and science, able to solve visual problems, edit code, use connected tools and fill in the exact form you give it, and quick enough for steady heavy traffic. It beats o3-mini and gets close to o3 in some areas.
