O3 Mini

by OpenAI

O3 Mini (January 31, 2025) is a pinned snapshot of OpenAI's cost-effective reasoning model, fixed to a specific build for stable behavior. It targets science, mathematics, and software engineering at a fraction of full O3's computational cost. The snapshot carries the reasoning effort parameter with low, medium, and high settings, letting developers balance speed and output quality per request. Low effort suits rapid exploration and tool use, medium serves as a balanced default, and high handles complex analysis that needs deeper chain-of-thought. It supports structured outputs, function calling, and streaming, with a 200,000 token context window. O3 Mini is text-only, focusing its computation on reasoning depth rather than multimodal input.

Get started

Call O3 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/o3-mini-2025-01-31",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
