Whisper has been one of the few AI technologies that has been totally life-changing. When I tried out Whisper for the first time, it had probably been a decade since I first experimented with speech-to-text software and expected that not much would have improved. Qualitatively it's such a leap over what came before it that it almost feels like a different product class. My only criticism of Whisper is that there isn't a greater variety of clients supporting it, especially in the realm of Android tools. Since discovering it, I've adopted just about every whisper technology that I can and spent most of my day voice typing now.
Another great product from OpenAI. Works pretty accurately for different languages.
Hey Hunters! 🚀
I am excited to be introducing GPT-4.1 in the OpenAI API — a major upgrade that redefines what's possible for developers building with AI.
Here’s what’s new and noteworthy:
🧩 3 powerful models:
GPT-4.1: State-of-the-art performance across coding, long-context, and instruction following
GPT-4.1 mini: Matches GPT-4o in intelligence with half the latency and 83% lower cost
GPT-4.1 nano: Fastest, most efficient model for tasks like classification and autocompletion
🧠 Performance highlights:
54.6% on SWE-bench Verified (21.4% better than GPT-4o)
38.3% on MultiChallenge for complex instruction following
1M token context — ideal for massive codebases or document processing
Better vision & image understanding
Enhanced tool use & code diffs for real-world dev workflows
💡 Use cases exploding:
From intelligent agents and legal document review to complex frontend builds, this release is built for real-world needs — all with lower cost, reduced latency, and smarter task handling.
🎯 Only available via the API, not ChatGPT — perfect for devs, startups, and enterprises ready to scale serious applications.
Let us know what you’re building with it — the possibilities just hit a whole new level!

@sama Massive upgrade! The latency and cost reductions alone make GPT-4.1 Mini a game-changer — and 1M token context? Perfect for handling real codebases. Can’t wait to build with this! 👏🔥

Great update and I love how cost efficient it became! will be using this for my next project 100%
