OpenAI to retire GPT-4, new AI models including GPT-4.1 likely to launch next week

OpenAI is planning to introduce a new AI model called GPT-4.1, which could be unveiled as early as next week, according to a report from The Verge. Reportedly, the new model is likely to be a revamped version of OpenAI’s GPT-4o and will be launched alongside the GPT-4.1 Mini and Nano models.

In addition to the GPT-4.1 Mini, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced earlier this month that the company is planning to release a full version of its o3 reasoning model and o4 mini model soon. The Verge report suggests that the two models could also be launched next week.
