Analysis Summary
GPT-4o (2024-05-13) is an early release of OpenAI's multimodal flagship, supporting vision, tool use, function calling, and file inputs with a 128K context window. MMLU-Pro at 0.740 and GPQA at 0.526 reflect strong general reasoning, and LiveCodeBench at 0.334 shows meaningful coding capability. The intelligence index of 8.6 places it above most mid-tier models but well below current leaders.
For businesses, it covers a broad range of tasks: document analysis, image understanding, structured output, and API-integrated workflows. The full multimodal stack makes it a versatile single-model solution for teams that need breadth. Its main limitation is that later GPT-4o versions have improved on these benchmarks at lower or comparable pricing.
At $5 input and $15 output per million tokens, it is moderately expensive. Teams on OpenAI's platform should prefer the updated GPT-4o variant for better performance, but this version remains functional for existing integrations.
