OpenAI announced on Thursday it was launching GPT-4o mini, a new, smaller cost-efficient AI model, to its catalogue as the AI giant looks to make its technology more accessible for a wider array of start-ups. 

The ChatGPT-maker will price its new model at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output tokens, making the GPT-4o mini 60% cheaper than the GPT-3.5 Turbo, according to OpenAI. 

The launch comes as companies continue to spend millions on gaining as much share of the AI market as possible.

The new model currently outperforms its GPT-4 model on chat preferences, OpenAI said. 

GPT-4o mini will also excel in mathematical reasoning and coding tasks, according to the company, outperforming previous small models on the market. 

OpenAI is developing a new reasoning technology under the code name ‘Strawberry’, reports Reuters.
