Features
Compare models| Feature | Value | Since | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structured outputsThe model can be held to a JSON schema you supply, so every reply parses without retries or cleanup. | Supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Function callingAlso called tool use. You describe functions; the model replies with a function name and arguments for your code to run, then uses the result. | Supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Prompt cachingA prompt prefix you send again and again (system prompt, documents, tools) is cached, so later requests cost less and start faster. | Supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Batch APISend many requests as one job that runs in the background, usually finished within 24 hours, at a lower price than live requests. | Not supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Image inputImages such as screenshots, photos and charts can go in the prompt for the model to read. | Supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Reasoning / thinkingThe model can work through a problem step by step before it answers: usually better answers to hard questions, at the cost of more tokens and time. | Supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Fine-tuningYou can train your own version of the model on your examples through the company's API, then call it like any other model. | Not supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Built-in web searchThe company's API can search the web for the model during a request and cite its sources; you don't need a search service of your own. | Supported | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Context windowThe most the model can work with in one request, in tokens: your prompt, conversation history and files. A token is about three-quarters of an English word. | 400,000 tokens | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
| Max output tokensThe longest reply the model can write in one response, in tokens. A token is about three-quarters of an English word. | 128,000 tokens | in place when tracking began (October 7, 2026) | source |
