GPT-4.1 Mini is the mid-sized member of the GPT-4.1 family, trading some headroom for speed. OpenAI reports it matches or beats GPT-4o on many tasks while running with roughly half the latency, and it is particularly strong on image understanding benchmarks. It retains the 1 million token context window of the full model, along with vision input, JSON schema structured output, and function calling for tool use. It is a good fit for high-volume and latency-sensitive workloads that still need broad context and reliable structured responses.
GPT-4.1 Mini runs on 1 route through the Opper gateway. Compare residency, ZDR, and training posture at a glance — full data-handling detail per route below.
| Provider | Region | Zero data retention | Training | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | Not by default | No | $0.40 | $1.60 |
GPT-4.1 Mini runs on a single route through the Opper gateway today, so its availability is that provider's availability.
Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. Set up a fallback chain.
Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.
Each route hosting GPT-4.1 Mini has its own privacy posture, residency, and GDPR terms. Postures are maintained by Opper with a last-verification timestamp.
Zero data retention is not on by default — abuse monitoring, 30-day retention. No training on customer data. US; SCCs; DPA available.
Independent benchmark scores — composite indices for reasoning, coding, and math, plus individual eval scores where available.
Call GPT-4.1 Mini through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly — Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.
Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up Opper for you.
