GPT-5 Nano model profile
Evidence snapshot:
GPT-5 Nano is a OpenAI model profile with a 400,000-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text, image, file modalities and interfaces for file input, prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation.
GPT-5 Nano 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-5 Nano accepts text, image, and file and returns text. The snapshot records file input, prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation, tool calling, vision, and web search pricing as capabilities or interfaces.
The dated reference snapshot lists $0.05 input and $0.4 output per million tokens. Cached input is $0.005 per million tokens.
The 2026-08-12 snapshot includes 6 Design Arena categories. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable.
GPT-5 Nano ranked #84 in the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset as of 2026-08-12. 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 2026-08-12 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.

Frequently asked questions
What is GPT-5 Nano?
GPT-5 Nano is a OpenAI model profile with a 400,000-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text, image, file modalities and interfaces for file input, prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation.
What context window does GPT-5 Nano have?
The dated profile lists 400,000 tokens of context and up to 128,000 output tokens. Provider routes, variants, and runtime configuration can impose lower effective limits.
What benchmark evidence is available for GPT-5 Nano?
The 2026-08-12 snapshot includes 6 Design Arena categories. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable. Third-party catalog fields normalized from the cited model dataset; benchmark methodology and coverage differ by source.
Is GPT-5 Nano available through Kendr?
This is an independent knowledge profile, not a Kendr-hosted availability claim. Check Kendr's live public model API for currently enabled Kendr aliases.
Does the popularity rank represent GPT-5 Nano's global market share?
GPT-5 Nano ranked #84 in the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset as of 2026-08-12. Observed within the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset; this is not global AI market share. No global market-share percentage is inferred when the source does not publish one.
