Cost-Efficiency

It’s more than 60% cheaper than GPT-3.5 Turbo. This change means zero-drafting with AI can be faster and cheaper.

Improved Capabilities

• Better handling of non-English text like the larger 4o model (which we have been using extensively)
• Outperforms GPT-3.5 Turbo on various benchmarks
• 128K token context window (entire chapters at once!)
• Multimodal support (future audio possibilities?)

Real-Time Interaction

Low latency could enable faster, more fluid workflows for our translators.

Integration Potential

Strong function calling performance could help us integrate external resources like concordances more seamlessly.

Cautious Optimism

While exciting, we need to approach implementation carefully. Bible translation requires nuance and cultural sensitivity.

Next Steps

1. Testing on biblical texts in low-resource languages
2. Refine prompts for smaller model if needed
3. Plan integration into our existing workflow for Codex
4. Analyze costs vs. potential improvements

GPT-4o mini could accelerate our mission to make God’s Word accessible to every language community.
