GPT-5 Nano is OpenAI's smallest and fastest model in the GPT-5 family, released 2025-08 as the successor to GPT-4.1 nano. It is built for developer tools, rapid interactions, and ultra-low latency environments, trading some reasoning depth for speed and cost efficiency. The model retains core instruction-following and safety features, making it a lightweight option for real-time applications.
Channels
Every channel serves the same model, but they differ in price and stability. On each API key in the Platform, you pick a primary and a backup channel per vendor, and each billing line shows which channel served the request.
Context pricing
This model’s price depends on how much input context a request carries. The headline price is the cheapest band, and a longer prompt moves the whole request into a higher one.
Capabilities
Parameters
Request parameters this model accepts through the API.
Cost calculator
Pick a channel and a usage scenario, then drag the sliders to match your workload. Each scenario assumes a different prompt-cache hit rate.
Benchmarks
bar = score (0–100) · ▏ medianScores come from vendor reports and public leaderboards, not private evals.
Showcase
Every chat model gets the same three fixed prompts. Outputs are archived verbatim, so you can copy a prompt and reproduce the result.
Build a single-file HTML page using three.js from a CDN: a low-poly planet with a tilted ring of ~200 orbiting particles, a soft key light plus rim light, slow auto-rotation, and drag-to-orbit controls. No build tools — one file only.
Every model will run this exact prompt, and its output will appear here verbatim with token counts and the cost per run.
Find the sum of all positive integers n such that n² + 85n + 2017 is a perfect square. Show your reasoning, then give only the final answer on the last line.
Every model will run this exact prompt, and its output will appear here verbatim with token counts and the cost per run.
Extract strict JSON {vendor, invoice_no, issue_date, currency, total, line_items:[{desc, qty, unit_price}]} from the invoice text. Output JSON only.
