Various specialized AI models are used behind the scenes at ChatGPT. (Illustration generated with ChatGPT)

ChatGPT users have the choice between different AI models with different features and use cases. However, the company’s model names are difficult for laypeople to understand. The following overview makes it easier.

The models available today can basically be divided into two main categories:

“GPT” models are designed for immediate responses and are particularly suitable for creative applications such as text generation, thematic discussions or idea development. They are classified as “generative AI”.

“o” models, on the other hand, are designed for analytical tasks in which they take an intermediate step. They first analyze the query before formulating an answer and are referred to as “reasoning AI”. These models work more slowly but more thoroughly than GPT variants and are often subject to usage restrictions due to higher operating costs.

Competitors such as Anthropic’s Claude or Google’s Gemini combine both variants under one roof. OpenAI says it is working on a similar solution. It is currently unclear when it will be released.

ChatGPT’s “mini” models, on the other hand, are more compact, faster versions of the full versions. Their disadvantage: they are less powerful.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the main models:

GPT-4o: The universal model for general applications and the default AI model of ChatGPT

GPT-4.1 mini: The fastest and most cost-effective model, to which free accounts are automatically switched when certain limits are reached

OpenAI o3: Specialized in complex reasoning processes, requires longer processing times

OpenAI o4-mini: Compact reasoning AI variant

OpenAI o4-mini-high: More powerful version of o4-mini, recommended by OpenAI for programming and visual reasoning

These models are the technical foundation of almost all ChatGPT functions. They enable a wide range of applications from idea discussions to document creation and text analysis.

Generally speaking, not all models are available to all users and their use is limited depending on the tariff. Those who use ChatGPT for free, for example, usually only have access to the most basic models, while particularly powerful AI is reserved for paid accounts. More information can be found in Smart Content Report’s ChatGPT overview.

It also explains useful functions and their use cases such as Deep Research or Canvas. Furthermore, readers find an overview of the different ChatGPT plans from “free” to “Pro”.
