GPT-4.1 mini ranks #152 out of 200 models on the public leaderboard with an overall score of 44.19/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for BenchLM's verified leaderboard. While not a frontier model, it offers specific advantages depending on the use case.
GPT-4.1 mini is a proprietary model with a 1M token context window. It processes queries without explicit chain-of-thought reasoning, offering faster response times and lower token usage.
GPT-4.1 mini sits inside the GPT-4.1 family alongside GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 nano. BenchLM links it directly to GPT-4o mini as the earlier related model in that lineage. This profile currently has 22 of 323 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
Its strongest category is Instruction Following (#19), while its weakest is Coding (#94). This performance profile makes it a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.
Peer position
Exact provisional scores and ranks for the closest listed peers. A score can appear before a model clears the evidence threshold for a rank, so equal scores can have different rank states.
