OpenAI Launches GPT-4.1: More Power, Lower Cost

Published: April 2025

OpenAI has officially released GPT-4.1, and it’s a game-changer—especially if you're running a small business and just starting to explore how AI can help you get more done.

GPT-4.1 is smarter, faster, and cheaper than its predecessor. One of the biggest upgrades? It can now process up to one million words at a time—which means it can handle full manuals, massive spreadsheets, or long conversations without skipping a beat.

• Writing quotes or proposals based on previous jobs
• Generating responses to long email chains
• Summarizing complex documents for quick decisions

Even better, OpenAI introduced Mini and Nano versions of GPT-4.1. These are designed to run on smaller devices, like tablets or phones, and they work offline in some cases.

And here's the kicker: it's 26% cheaper to use. That makes GPT-4.1 more accessible for everyone, from solo tradespeople to growing teams.

Bottom line: More power, less cost, and tools that finally fit how real people work.
