GPT-4.1 (April 2025) is a legacy 1M-context text model — cheap and capable, retired from the ChatGPT picker but still on the API for long-document text work.
Best for
- Legacy text-only apps needing a 1M-token context
- Cheap long-document processing without GPT-5 reasoning
- Strong instruction-following at lower cost than GPT-4o
How it compares — and the India angle
- Superseded by the GPT-5.4 family — for new builds, GPT-5.4 mini gives better quality at comparable cost.
- It does NOT accept image input — use GPT-4o or a GPT-5 model if you need vision.
- A legacy choice in mid-2026, not forward-looking; stay on it only to avoid a migration.
