OpenAI: gpt-3.5-turbo-0125 API

gpt-3.5-turbo-0125 is the definitive snapshot of the GPT-3.5 family. Compared to its predecessors, it offers improved accuracy in following requested formats (like JSON Mode) and resolves an encoding bug that previously impacted non-English function calls. It serves as OpenAI's primary "workhorse" for high-throughput, latency-sensitive applications. While it lacks the deep reasoning power of GPT-4o or GPT-4.1, its speed and reliability make it ideal for basic conversational agents, text classification, and summarization. Since mid-2024, OpenAI generally recommends transitioning to GPT-4o mini, which offers superior intelligence at an even lower price point.
