- Status Availablegpt-4.1 is not on the deprecations page when read on 2026-10-01; its docs page is live and not marked deprecated. Primary source[2]Model details [4]Upcoming and past deprecations (gpt-4.1 not listed)
- Successor of GPT-4oThe announcement says the GPT-4.1 models outperform GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini across the board and that many of the improvements were folded into GPT-4o in ChatGPT; it does not use the word successor. Primary source[1]introduction
- Change · Context length Context window of up to one million tokens (1,047,576 in the API docs), larger than GPT-4o's.Compared with GPT-4o Primary source[1] [2]
- Change · Other Maximum output raised to 32,768 tokens, from 16,384 for GPT-4o.Compared with GPT-4o Primary source[1]
- Change · Training data Knowledge cutoff moved to June 2024.Compared with GPT-4o Primary source[1]
- Change · Availability Released as a series of three sizes, adding a nano tier below mini; at launch only in the API.Compared with GPT-4o Primary source[1]
