Overview
OpenAI aims to create "safe and beneficial" artificial general intelligence, defined as highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work. The organization leads today's AI with some of the world's most advanced multimodal foundation models, including gpt‑5.1, and continues to compress state‑of‑the‑art performance into smaller, less expensive variants like gpt-5.1-mini. The latest gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize model performs speech tasks, while gpt-image-1 incorporates native image generation and editing.Key OpenAI Models (November 2025)
