OpenAI: GPT Audio Mini
Analysis Summary
GPT Audio Mini is an audio-capable model supporting text and audio input and output, with tool use, function calling, and a 128K context window. Pricing is $0.60 per million input tokens and $2.40 per million output tokens. Its modality is the clearest reason to consider it, especially for voice-first interfaces and conversational media tasks.
Suitable workloads include audio transcription exchanges, voice assistants, spoken content workflows, and tool-connected customer service prototypes. The supplied data contains no reasoning, coding, content, or agentic benchmark results, so capability outside audio interaction is not established. Use it where bidirectional audio is essential, with transcript and response quality checks before deploying it in customer-facing workflows.
