GPT-4.1 Mini or Hy3 preview: which to pick

Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.

Pick GPT-4.1 Mini for a larger context window (1.05M against 262K tokens) and work measured by AA Coding Index or Terminal-Bench Hard (Artificial Analysis run), where it leads.

Questions

Is GPT-4.1 Mini better than Hy3 preview for coding?

Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding. Pick GPT-4.1 Mini for a larger context window (1.05M against 262K tokens) and work measured by AA Coding Index or Terminal-Bench Hard (Artificial Analysis run), where it leads.

Which is cheaper, GPT-4.1 Mini or Hy3 preview?

GPT-4.1 Mini costs $0.40 per million input tokens and $1.60 per million output tokens; Hy3 preview costs $0.18 and $0.60. Cost per solved task is known for GPT-4.1 Mini only.

Which has the bigger context window, GPT-4.1 Mini or Hy3 preview?

GPT-4.1 Mini, with 1.05M tokens against 262K.

How many benchmarks is the GPT-4.1 Mini vs Hy3 preview comparison based on?

32 benchmarks have a result for both models as of October 22, 2026. GPT-4.1 Mini's coding index rests on 0 independent benchmarks and Hy3 preview's on 1. Where only one model has a result, the page says so instead of naming a winner.
