Our pick

For most workloads, choose GPT-5 mini.

  • 92% cheaper input price, which compounds at scale
  • 2.0× the context window — better for long documents and agents
  • 229% faster throughput — matters for streaming UX and voice agents

GPT-5 family inheritance at a fraction of the cost — strong on routine tasks but visibly weaker on multi-step reasoning. Default choice when GPT-5 is overkill.

Choose Claude 4.6 Sonnet instead if: Strongest non-OpenAI option for nuanced writing and code review; pricier than DeepSeek but more reliable refusal patterns for regulated industries.
