Gpt-5.1: a version now available through the OpenAI API

OpenAI et GPT-5.1

OpenAI has made GPT-5.1 available through its API, presenting it as a model designed to improve performance and flexibility for professional use. The company describes a system capable of handling a wide range of tasks, from complex reasoning to low-latency interactions. This release comes with specific usage conditions and recommendations aimed at developers and organizations looking to optimise their integrations.

Gpt-5.1: availability in the API, usage parameters…

The GPT-5.1 model is now accessible within the API as part of the GPT-5 series. It is built to balance speed and reasoning quality, thanks in particular to an adaptive reasoning mechanism that allocates more time to complex tasks and accelerates responses when the request is straightforward.

A key element highlighted by OpenAI is the “reasoning_effort = none” mode, which acts as the default when no specific setting is provided. This mode offers a direct answer path suited for latency-sensitive scenarios. The model also introduces an extended prompt caching capability, retaining context for up to 24 hours. This feature supports long-running conversations and continuous workflows without rebuilding background context.

OpenAI specifies that pricing and rate limits remain the same as those applied to GPT-5. This allows teams to adopt or migrate to GPT-5.1 without additional budget adjustments, simplifying its integration into existing systems.

The model brings several improvements for software development. OpenAI points to clearer communication, higher code quality and stronger frontend UI generation. Two tools support these advancements: apply_patch, intended for structured code modifications, and shell, designed for controlled command-line execution within a local environment.

Gpt-5.1 and its Codex variants

Alongside the main model, OpenAI introduces gpt-5.1-codex and gpt-5.1-codex-mini. The first targets complex, long-running development tasks requiring higher autonomy, while the second is optimised for lightweight edits and cost-efficient adjustments. GPT-5.1 remains the recommended choice for everyday coding needs.

Migration recommendations

OpenAI encourages users to test GPT-5.1 for development workflows and to consider transitioning from GPT-4.1 to the reasoning_effort=”none” mode for fast general-purpose tasks. This approach is meant to take advantage of the model’s increased speed while maintaining performance suited to common operational requirements.

By making GPT-5.1 available through its API, OpenAI positions this version as a model aimed at maintaining workflow continuity, managing latency constraints and improving code production, all while retaining the existing pricing structure.
