# Available Models

### GPT-4o

#### Overview

GPT-4o ("omni") is the most advanced model available in SShift GPT, designed for high-performance applications across multiple modalities, including text, image, and audio processing. It is significantly faster and more cost-efficient than its predecessor, GPT-4 Turbo.

#### Best Use Cases

* **Conversational AI** – Best for engaging in natural and dynamic chat experiences.
* **Multimodal Processing** – Can generate and interpret text, images, and audio.
* **Advanced Coding** – Helps with complex code generation, debugging, and development support.
* **Content Creation** – Suitable for generating high-quality articles, creative writing, and summaries.

### GPT-4o-mini

#### Overview

GPT-4o Mini is a streamlined version of GPT-4o, optimized for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. It retains strong capabilities while being better suited for high-volume tasks that do not require the full power of GPT-4o.

#### Best Use Cases

* **Casual Conversations** – Works well for general chat and interactions that do not require deep reasoning.
* **Basic Coding Assistance** – Helps with debugging and minor code refinements.
* **Summarization** – Extracts key insights from long documents efficiently.
* **Quick Responses** – Ideal for users who need fast and efficient AI replies.

### o3-mini

#### Overview

o3-mini is designed for advanced reasoning and problem-solving in SShift GPT. It excels in logic-heavy applications while remaining fast and cost-effective.

🚨 **Note:** o3-mini does **not** support image processing. If used in a chat where images are present, they will be ignored.

#### Best Use Cases

* **Logical and Mathematical Tasks** – Excels in structured thinking and problem-solving.
* **Complex Analysis** – Ideal for users needing deep, logical discussions or structured reasoning.
* **Scientific and Research Assistance** – Helps process and summarize complex topics.
* **Decision-Making Support** – Enhances AI-driven analysis for thought-out discussions.

### Selecting the Right Model

To choose the best model for your needs in SShift GPT, consider:

1. **Task Complexity** – Use GPT-4o for multimodal or complex tasks, o3-mini for logic-heavy applications, and GPT-4o Mini for efficiency-focused tasks.
2. **Budget** – GPT-4o Mini is the most cost-effective, while GPT-4o offers premium capabilities at a higher price.
3. **Performance Needs** – GPT-4o and GPT-4o Mini are optimal for real-time interactions.
4. **User Preferences** – Different models cater to various styles of conversation and interaction.
