GPT-o3 Mini - Reasoning Optimized for Science, Math, and Coding

GPT-o3 Mini is a small o-series model optimized for science, math, and coding tasks. Unlike o3 and o4-mini, it accepts text input only - image input is not supported. It is now deprecated.

TraitDetail
Image inputNot supported - text only; this separates it from o3 and o4-mini, which both accept image input
Explicit task focusOptimized for science, math, and coding tasks
Fine-tuningNot supported

GPT-o3 Mini's Place in the o-Series Progression

GPT-o3 Mini introduced Structured Outputs, function calling, and Batch API support to the small reasoning model tier - features that its predecessor o1-mini lacked. It is now deprecated, with o4-mini serving as its successor in the small o-series tier.
