GPT-4o Mini

GPT-4o Mini is a fast, efficient language model from OpenAI. Call gpt-4o-mini through both the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API and the Responses API.

Key capabilities

OpenAI-compatible - Works with the OpenAI SDK by changing base_url
Streaming - Real-time token output through SSE
Multi-turn conversations - Uses role-based messages
Responses API - Uses input for text and structured content
Reasoning control - Configure reasoning effort on supported models
Tool use - Supports function and hosted tool definitions
