Question

I need to know clear use cases in which it’s better to use one or the other method to ensure I choose the most efficient and effective tool for specific needs, maximizing productivity and achieving the best possible outcomes

Answer 1

Hi @Alejandro Romero Morales,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

Choosing between GPT-4-o and GPT-4-o Mini depends on your specific use case, resource constraints, and the performance requirements.

GPT-4-o excels in tasks requiring high precision, such as complex content generation, technical support, and creative writing, where maintaining quality and handling longer contexts are crucial. It also offers superior multimodal input capabilities, high efficiency, and advanced performance in non-English languages and vision tasks, making it ideal for enhanced customer service, advanced analytics, and content innovation.

GPT-4-o Mini is best suited for cost-sensitive, high-volume tasks requiring fast responses and low latency, like customer support chatbots and applications involving multiple model calls. It supports both text and vision with future expansions to multimedia inputs and offers strong performance in function calling, surpassing smaller models in both textual and multimodal reasoning.

I hope you understand. Do let us know if you any further queries.
