GPT-4.1

OpenAI
closed / Overall score: 3.3

GPT-4.1 is an instruction-tuned language model that OpenAI released in April 2025 through its API only, aimed at coding and long-context work with a 1,047,576-token context window. OpenAI's main production line has since moved to newer GPT-5 series models, and it recommends GPT-4.1 as a lower-latency choice for tasks that do not need reasoning.

GPT-4.1 is a proprietary OpenAI API model with no weights, training data or code released. OpenAI's own documentation puts its context window at 1,047,576 tokens.

Adoption

4 low confidence
4.0

GPT-4.1 launched as an API-first developer and coding model, initially outside ChatGPT's default lineup, and was adopted as a cheaper replacement for GPT-4o across developer tooling. OpenAI discloses no per-model usage count, so this reading comes from its broad developer-platform distribution as a major API model rather than a measured figure.
