GPT-4.1 Mini performance data on Rival is based on blind head-to-head community voting. Overall win rate: 50.0% across 104 duels. All vote data is part of Rival's open dataset of 21,000+ human preference judgments across 200+ AI models. Model responses are curated from 54 challenges.
These are the models that show up when GPT-4.1 Mini doesn't. Or when it does, but you want a second opinion. Which is healthy.

GPT-4.1 Mini is a mid-sized model delivering performance competitive with GPT-4o at substantially lower latency and cost. It retains a 1 million token context window and scores 45.1% on hard instruction evals, 35.8% on MultiChallenge, and 84.1% on IFEval. Mini also shows strong coding ability (e.g., 31.6% on Aider's polyglot diff benchmark) and vision understanding, making it suitable for interactive applications with tight performance constraints.
Use GPT-4.1 Mini in your applications via the OpenRouter API. Copy the code below to get started.
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions" ,
headers={
"Authorization""Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" : ,
"Content-Type""application/json" :
},
json={
"model""openai/gpt-4.1-mini" : ,
"messages""role""user""content""Hello!" : [{: , : }]
}
)
print(response.json())Replace $OPENROUTER_API_KEY with your API key from openrouter.ai/keys
The corporate training video narrator who genuinely believes in the content. Hits every bullet point with the enthusiasm of someone who just discovered PowerPoint.
Picks Inception (safe, respectable, zero controversy). Its sentience test reads like a well-organized TED talk where both parties agree by the end. Character voices are pleasant but all three characters arrive at the same kumbaya conclusion. Never rocks the boat.
Taste is judged on an uncapped scale where 100 is the reference, originality first. The space past 100 is the craft today's models rarely reach.
Unique words vs. total words. Higher = richer vocabulary.
Average words per sentence.
"Might", "perhaps", "arguably" per 100 words.
**Bold** markers per 1,000 characters.
Bullet and numbered list items per 1,000 characters.
Markdown headings per 1,000 characters.
Emoji per 1,000 characters.
"However", "moreover", "furthermore" per 100 words.
