GPT-5 Nano

by OpenAI

GPT-5 Nano is the fastest and most lightweight version of GPT-5, designed for tasks where speed matters most. With a 272k token context window and support for text and image input, structured output, and tool use, it covers a wide range of practical applications. The model is well suited to summarization, classification, and other simple tasks, serving as the lightest-weight option in OpenAI's GPT-5 lineup. It is a good fit for high-volume applications, responsive subagents, and workloads where latency directly shapes the product experience. Note that GPT-5.4 Nano offers improvements over this variant, with faster latency and stronger reasoning and tool use, making it the recommended choice for new projects.
