About GPT-4o mini

GPT-4o mini is OpenAI's small-but-capable model — roughly 25× cheaper per token than full GPT-4o, with quality that's plenty for everyday tasks. The default pick when you want OpenAI quality at fraction cost.

What it's good at

1

Dramatically cheaper per message than GPT-4o

2

Still handles vision (at a reduced fidelity)

3

Sub-second first token in most cases

4

128k context window

Pricing on Faceb.ai

Around 200–450 tokens per typical message. The 30k free daily tokens buy around 75 messages a day on the free plan.

Use GPT-4o mini from the API

OpenAI-compatible. Same Faceb.ai tokens cover chat and API. Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK.

curl https://api.faceb.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "stream": true
  }'
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.faceb.ai/v1",
    api_key="sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY",
)

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.faceb.ai/v1",
  apiKey: "sk-faceb-YOUR_KEY",
});

const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
  stream: true,
});
for await (const chunk of stream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || "");
}

Also works for image generation (image-output model slugs return image_url content parts) and web search (add "web_search": true to the payload). Same endpoint, same wallet.

Frequently asked — GPT-4o mini

What is GPT-4o mini?

GPT-4o mini is OpenAI's smaller, faster, much cheaper sibling to full GPT-4o — released in July 2024 to replace GPT-3.5-turbo. It keeps multimodal support.

When should I use GPT-4o mini vs GPT-4o?

Use mini for summarisation, day-to-day Q&A, drafting emails, quick code explanations. Reach for full GPT-4o when the task needs deep reasoning or careful code architecture.

Is GPT-4o mini free to use?

You get 30k tokens free every day. A GPT-4o mini message costs ~200–450 tokens, so that's roughly 70+ free messages a day, every day.

Is GPT-4o mini good for coding?

For boilerplate and small edits, yes. For architecture-level refactors, Claude 3.5 Sonnet or full GPT-4o are better picks.

Does GPT-4o mini support images?

Yes, it accepts image input — at reduced fidelity compared to full GPT-4o, but plenty for screenshots and diagrams.

What's the context window?

128,000 tokens, same as full GPT-4o.

How does it compare to Claude Haiku?

Both are small-and-fast. Claude Haiku has a larger context window (200k vs 128k); GPT-4o mini has better multimodal support. Try both and pick.

Can I call GPT-4o mini from the API?

Yes. Any API key from /account/api/ can call it. Model slug: openai/gpt-4o-mini.

Why is it so much cheaper than GPT-4o?

It's a much smaller model — fewer parameters means cheaper inference. The trade-off is slightly weaker reasoning, but the cost difference is 20-30×.

Does it have the same knowledge cutoff as GPT-4o?

Yes — same Oct 2023 cutoff in practice, with some refreshes via OpenAI's training pipeline.

Is GPT-4o mini safe to use for customer-facing bots?

Yes — it inherits OpenAI's moderation. Pair it with a clear system prompt and a PII-stripping pass if you're logging transcripts.

Will Faceb.ai always offer GPT-4o mini?

As long as OpenAI serves it. If they deprecate it (they announced one-year notice policies), we'll surface a replacement in the picker before it goes dark.
