GPT-4.1 Mini (Free) vs Text Embedding 3 Small

A mid-sized GPT-4.1 model delivering performance competitive with GPT-4o at substantially lower latency and cost. Retains a 1 million token context window and demonstrates strong coding ability and vision understanding, making it suitable for interactive applications with tight performance constraints.

Text-Embedding-3-Small is OpenAI’s efficient, compact embedding model, designed to convert text into numerical representations for semantic tasks such as search, clustering, and recommendations. It offers improved performance and cost-effectiveness compared to previous models, with low latency and storage requirements.
