GPT-4.1 model profile
Evidence snapshot:
GPT-4.1 is a OpenAI model profile with a 1,047,576-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records image, text, file modalities and interfaces for file input, prompt caching, structured output, text generation, tool calling.
GPT-4.1 is a flagship large language model optimized for advanced instruction following, real-world software engineering, and long-context reasoning. It supports a 1 million token context window and outperforms GPT-4o and GPT-4.5 across coding (54.6% SWE-bench Verified), instruction compliance (87.4% IFEval), and multimodal understanding benchmarks. It is tuned for precise code diffs, agent reliability, and high recall in large document contexts, making it ideal for agents, IDE tooling, and enterprise knowledge retrieval.
GPT-4.1 is a reference profile: OpenAI publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.
GPT-4.1 is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt.
GPT-4.1 accepts image, text, and file and returns text. The snapshot records file input, prompt caching, structured output, text generation, tool calling, vision, and web search pricing as capabilities or interfaces.
The dated reference snapshot lists $2 input and $8 output per million tokens. Cached input is $0.5 per million tokens.
The 2026-09-06 snapshot includes 6 Design Arena categories and AutoExacto results for 5 provider observations. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable.
GPT-4.1 ranked #88 in the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset as of 2026-09-06. Observed within the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset; this is not global AI market share.
Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.

When to pick GPT-4.1
GPT-4.1 is a reference profile: OpenAI publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.
Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field.
- Reach for it when the input includes images. The snapshot records image input, so screenshots, scans, and diagrams can be sent directly instead of described.
- Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose.
- Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr.
