OpenAI: GPT-4 Turbo (older v1106)
Analysis Summary
GPT-4 Turbo (v1106) was OpenAI's first Turbo-class GPT-4 release, supporting a 128K context window along with tool use, function calling, and vision. Its measured intelligence and coding performance are well below current frontier models, reflecting how quickly the field has advanced since its 2023 release.
For business use, it can still handle general reasoning, document summarisation, and basic coding tasks reliably, but it will lag noticeably against newer models on complex reasoning or software engineering work. Its high price relative to its now-modest capability is a further drawback.
This model suits legacy integrations already built around it, but new projects should adopt a newer, better-benchmarked, and typically cheaper alternative.
