GPT-5 Mini

by OpenAI

GPT-5 Mini is a faster, more cost-efficient version of GPT-5 built for well-defined tasks and precise prompts. It delivers near-frontier intelligence for low-latency, high-volume workloads and works well as a fallback for users and organizations managing usage on larger models. With a 272k token context window, GPT-5 Mini supports text input and output, image input, structured output, and tool use. It excels at summarization, classification, data extraction, and lightweight reasoning where latency is a primary constraint. Note that GPT-5.4 Mini offers significant improvements over this variant, with more than 2x faster latency and stronger coding, reasoning, and multimodal understanding, making it the recommended choice for new projects that need small-model performance.

Get started

Call GPT-5 Mini through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β€” Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into your coding agent β€” Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more β€” and it'll wire up Opper for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPPER_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.opper.ai/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "openai/gpt-5-mini",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
