All 3 rowsWhat it costs to get this score
Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

Published price history
This chart appears only when at least two dated first-party price records exist for the exact model. It shows rate changes, not an inferred cost trend.
2 dated first-party price records. The newest record lists $0.4 per million tokens.
Lineage
The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
GPT-4.1 nano ranks #212 of 227 on the public leaderboard with a score of 24.46/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.
GPT-4.1 nano is a proprietary model with a 1M context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.
GPT-4.1 nano sits in the GPT-4.1 family with GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini. 3 of 726 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Its strongest eligible category is Instruction Following at #125, while its lowest eligible position is Knowledge at #174. a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.
Last updated October 20, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
Deployment options
Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Questions
How does GPT-4.1 nano perform overall in AI benchmarks?
GPT-4.1 nano ranks #212 out of 227 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 24.46/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 3 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is GPT-4.1 nano good for knowledge and understanding?
GPT-4.1 nano ranks #174 out of 187 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 25.4/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is GPT-4.1 nano good for instruction following?
GPT-4.1 nano ranks #125 out of 149 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 36/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Which sibling models are related to GPT-4.1 nano?
GPT-4.1 nano belongs to the GPT-4.1 family. Related tracked variants include GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.
Does GPT-4.1 nano have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. GPT-4.1 nano currently has 18 source-displayable rows. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of GPT-4.1 nano?
GPT-4.1 nano has a reported context window of 1M in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
