OpenAI just released GPT-4o Mini, officially replacing GPT-3.5 Turbo as the default model for ChatGPT free users and in the API. In this video, I break down everything you need to know about GPT-4o Mini, including why it's 60% cheaper than GPT-3.5 Turbo, how it performs better across benchmarks, and why you should switch immediately if you're still using the older model.

I walk through OpenAI's official press release, highlighting key improvements like the 128K token context window, knowledge updated through October 2023 (compared to September 2021 for GPT-3.5 Turbo), and enhanced multimodal capabilities. Then I show you exactly how to implement GPT-4o Mini in Python using LangChain with two practical examples: one testing ethical reasoning about AI in medical diagnosis, and another solving a math word problem about fence calculations.

Whether you're building AI applications, experimenting with language models, or just want to understand what makes GPT-4o Mini special, this video gives you the complete technical breakdown and hands-on code examples to get started today. The setup is incredibly simple, and I demonstrate how easy it is to swap models in your existing code by changing just one line.
