Model Portfolio
Tracked Models
Pulled from the models catalog and linked directly back to detailed model pages.
OpenAI's March 5, 2026 GPT-5 upgrade focused on professional work, coding, browsing, and computer use. OpenAI reports stronger performance on GDPval, SWE-Bench Pro, BrowseComp, and OSWorld-Verified, with a standard 272K-token context window and experimental 1M-token support in Codex.
The conversational layer of GPT-5.3, now the default model in ChatGPT. Focuses on UX quality — 26.8% fewer hallucinations on web queries, fewer unnecessary refusals, and more natural writing. Supports reasoning effort levels from minimal (5 tokens) to high (200-700 tokens).
OpenAI's most capable agentic coding model. The first to combine Codex + GPT-5 training stacks, bringing together best-in-class code generation, reasoning, and general-purpose intelligence. Sets new state-of-the-art on Terminal-Bench 2.0 (77.3%) and OSWorld-Verified (64.7%). ~25% faster than GPT-5.2.
Speed-optimized distillation of GPT-5.3 Codex running on Cerebras WSE-3 hardware. Achieves 1,000+ tokens/sec — 15x faster than the full Codex — while matching its benchmark scores on SWE-Bench Pro (56.8%) and Terminal-Bench 2.0 (77.3%). 50% faster TTFT and 80% reduction in roundtrip overhead.
OpenAI's flagship reasoning model. GPT-5.2 Thinking scores 80% on SWE-bench Verified and 55.6% on SWE-Bench Pro (state of the art). GPT-5.2 Pro crosses the 90% threshold on ARC-AGI-1 while reducing cost by 390x compared to o3. Features a 400K context window with up to 128K output tokens.
The new default in ChatGPT, replacing GPT-4o, o3, o4-mini, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4.5 for signed-in users. Pairs strong math reasoning with broad multimodal strength and a 400K-token context window.
OpenAI's most intelligent reasoning model. o3 excels at math (96.7% on AIME 2024), science (87.7% GPQA Diamond), and coding (71.7% SWE-bench Verified, Codeforces Elo 2727). o3-pro variant offers even deeper reasoning at $20/$80 per million tokens. Now retired from ChatGPT but API remains available.
OpenAI's small reasoning model optimized for fast, cost-efficient reasoning. Achieves 99.5% on AIME 2025 (with Python) and excels at math, coding, and visual tasks. The best-performing benchmarked model on AIME 2024 and 2025. Retired from ChatGPT but API remains available.
