about
Announced at OpenAI DevDay in November 2023, this preview expanded GPT-4's context window from 8K to 128K tokens while cutting input pricing by 3x. It introduced JSON mode, parallel function calling, and reproducible outputs via a seed parameter, though it was widely noted for a "laziness" problem where the model would truncate code or respond with "rest remains the same."

Use cases for GPT-4 1106 Preview
- Book-length document analysis: The 128K context window processes full manuscripts, regulatory filings, or codebases in a single prompt for comprehensive analysis without chunking.
- Guaranteed JSON extraction: JSON mode ensures structurally valid output for data pipelines, eliminating the parsing failures that plagued earlier GPT-4 versions.
- Reproducible content generation: The seed parameter delivers deterministic outputs for applications requiring audit trails, regression testing, or consistent baseline comparisons.

GPT-4 1106 preview maintains the 86.5% MMLU (5-shot) baseline of the GPT-4 Turbo family while adding a 128K context window, JSON mode, and parallel function calling. Its Arena ELO of 1,251 places it above GPT-4 (1,165) but below GPT-4o (1,316) on the same sheet, reflecting incremental improvements in chat quality beyond what MMLU captures.
pricing
The cost per 1,000 tokens for running the model with Telnyx Inference is $0.0010. For instance, analyzing 1,000,000 customer chats, assuming each chat is 1,000 tokens long, would cost $1,000.
What's Twitter saying?
- Mixed coding performance: While GPT-4 Turbo showed faster inference, coding benchmarks revealed trade-offs—GPT-4 solved 86 out of 122 tasks on the first attempt compared to GPT-4 Turbo's 56, though GPT-4 Turbo improved significantly on second attempts with 28 successes versus GPT-4's 10.
- Quality concerns despite claims: Some developers reported that GPT-4-1106-preview generated consistently worse content than the previous GPT-3.5-turbo model, questioning whether this was due to the model's "not yet suited for production traffic" status or other factors.
- Latency and responsiveness issues: Users on social media reported significant latency problems with GPT-4-Turbo (1106-Preview), noting it was slower than the original GPT-4, and some observed that Azure deployments returned noticeably shorter and less detailed responses compared to OpenAI's direct API.

faqs
How much is GPT-4 1106 Preview?
GPT-4 1106 Preview is priced at $10 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens. This represented a significant price drop compared to the base GPT-4 models while offering a 128K context window.
What is the difference between GPT-4 and 1106 Preview?
GPT-4 1106 Preview (GPT-4 Turbo) introduced a 128K context window (16x the base GPT-4), JSON mode, parallel function calling, and improved instruction-following. It was OpenAI's first "Turbo" variant of GPT-4 with significantly faster inference and lower pricing.
Is GPT-4 Vision Preview deprecated?
Yes, the standalone GPT-4 Vision Preview has been deprecated. Vision capabilities are now built into GPT-4o and later models as standard features rather than requiring separate endpoints.
What is the difference between GPT-4 and o1 Preview?
GPT-4 is a general-purpose model that responds immediately, while o1 Preview is a reasoning model that spends time "thinking" before answering. The o1 series excels at math, coding, and science tasks that benefit from multi-step reasoning, while GPT-4 is better for general conversation and speed.
What is GPT-4 1106 Preview?
GPT-4 1106 Preview is the November 2023 release of GPT-4 Turbo, featuring a 128K context window, JSON mode, and parallel function calling. It was the first GPT-4 variant designed for large-scale document processing and structured output generation.
