Operator guidance
The default choice for cost-sensitive OpenAI workloads. Route here first for anything that doesn't demonstrably require GPT-4o reasoning depth. Step up to GPT-4o or GPT-5.5 when task quality suffers; step across to Llama 4 Maverick for the same price with open weights.
Use cases
- High-volume classification, extraction, and simple chat workloads
- Tool-calling pipelines where cost must be minimised
- Lightweight RAG reranking and summarisation
Limitations
- Noticeably weaker than GPT-4o on multi-hop reasoning and complex coding
- Capability ratings are qualitative, not a single cited benchmark run
