The speed at which OpenAI Update language models behind Chatgpt and the, in the words of the own Sam Altmanbad choice of names for each one they easily lead to confusion, especially if you are a payment subscriber of this AI. Free accounts do not have this problem, since It is the platform itself that automatically assigns it according to the prompt and the limits of use established by OpenAI, but Those who pay have to choose it manually And it can be difficult to know which is the most appropriate for each task with the brief explanation that Chatgpt gives in its interface.
If you are a user of Chatgpt plusyou can currently choose between 6 options: GPT-4O (predetermined), O3, O4-MINI, O4-MIN-HIGH, GPT-4.5 and GPT-4O MINI. If you have an account Enterprise either Proalso to O1-Pro Mode.
Openai has published a support document for Enterprise accounts that comes to contribute clarity to the question of which is the most convenient model for each task.
GPT-4O and GPT-4.5
Openai explains that GPT-4O It is the ‘totally multimodal model’ With access to real -time information and should be used to summarize content, make a brainstorm or send emails.
You can use almost all functions of the AI, ranging from personalized GPT to image generation, canvas, advanced voice and data analysis. Being multimodal, you can process documents, images, CSV files, audio and video.
Examples of adequate prompts for GPT-4O:
- Summarize the meeting notes in key action elements.
- Write a follow -up email after the start of a project.
- Check my report.
- Make a rain of ideas about a real -time launch plan: do not hesitate to upload sketches or screenshots.
On the other hand, GPT-4.5 It is the ‘creative’ power of chatgpt And it offers better emotional intelligence, communication, greater creativity and a more collaborative and intuitive approach for ideas rains. It is very similar to GPT-4O, but if you demand more creativity, GPT-4.5 is a better option.
Examples of adequate prompts for GPT-4.5:
- Create an attractive publication on LinkedIn about AI trends.
- Write a product description for the launch of a new function.
- Prepare a letter of apology to the client with an empathic tone.
Reasoning models: O4-mini, O4-mini-High, O3 and O1 Pro
According to the document, O4-mini is fast for rapid technical tasks as consultations related to Stem, programming and visual reasoning.
Examples of adequate prompts for O4-mini:
- Extract key data points from a CSV file.
- It provides a rapid summary of a scientific article.
- Quickly fix this python tracking for me.
O4-mini-High is better in detailed technical taskssuch as advanced coding, mathematics, scientific explanations and ‘think’ for longer precision.
Examples of adequate prompts for O4-mini-High:
- Solve a complex mathematical equation and explain the steps.
- SQL consultations draft for data extraction.
- Explain a scientific concept in simple terms.
Unlike these two models, O3 stands out in complex or several steps tasks As strategic planning, detailed analysis, extensive coding, advanced mathematics, science, coding and visual reasoning.
Examples of adequate prompts for O3:
- Develop a risk analysis for market expansion.
- Write a business strategy scheme based on competitive data.
- Execute a several steps analysis in this CSV: forecasts the next quarter and traces the trend.
- Check the funnel metrics, visualize the data and look for new strategies for the top of the funnel.
For the most complex reasoning, OpenAI recommends O1 Proit takes longer to provide the answers, but does it with the required precision.
Examples of adequate prompts for O1 Pro:
- Write a detailed risk analysis analysis for the implementation of data privacy in the EU.
- It generates a summary of several pages research on emerging technologies.
- Create an algorithm for financial forecast using theoretical models.
