FAQs

Is GPT-4.1 mini stable for production?

Yes. It shares the GPT-4.1 stack but with smaller context + lower per-token cost, making it a good stepping stone before production scale.

How do I keep prompts within 128k context?

Use retrieval to pull only the chunks you need. TokenTally exposes total prompt tokens so you can watch headroom in real time.

Does GPT-4.1 mini support tool calling?

It does. Pricing remains token-based even when you invoke tools or structured outputs.
