Model card

Curated by Run BiOS · benchmark figures, where present, are the card’s own, not our measurements

o3-mini is a small reasoning model, providing high intelligence at the same cost and latency targets as o1-mini. It supports Structured Outputs and function calling.

On Run BiOS

Always reasons. Reasoning levels low, medium, high; the default is medium. This model cannot turn reasoning off: a request for no reasoning runs at the lowest available level.
Reasoning summaries. When reasoning is on, OpenAI may return a summary of the model's reasoning: in reasoning_content on the OpenAI API, and in thinking blocks on the Anthropic Messages API when thinking.display is summarized. OpenAI does not return a summary for every request.
Tool calling. Function tools with tool_choice auto, required, a named function or none, including parallel tool calls, and together with reasoning.
Structured outputs. response_format with json_schema or json_object.
Text input only on Run BiOS.
Sampling parameters. temperature, top_p, penalties, stop and seed are not applied to this model on Run BiOS, because it always reasons; the request is still served.
Prompt caching. Automatic for repeated prompt prefixes; the minimum cacheable length varies with the request. Cache reads bill at the cached-input rate, and there is no separate charge for cache writes. Send a stable prompt_cache_key to improve cache hits.
Two APIs. Works with the OpenAI Chat Completions API (/v1/chat/completions) and the Anthropic Messages API (/v1/messages).
