OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano

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.

Showcase

Three fixed prompts, identical for every chat model. Outputs are archived verbatim — copy the prompt to reproduce.

Task prompt · identical for all models
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; the output lands here verbatim, with tokens and per-run cost.
