Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between GPT-5 and GPT 5.1?
The biggest difference is the 'warmth' and conversational ability. GPT-5.1 is designed to be more approachable, playful, and easier to talk to, while also integrating adaptive reasoning directly into the instant model.
Is GPT 5.1 smarter than GPT-5?
Yes. GPT-5.1 shows significant improvements on math and coding benchmarks (like AIME 2025). It also hallucinates less and follows instructions more reliably.
What is Adaptive Reasoning?
Adaptive reasoning allows the model to decide when it needs to 'think' before answering. It spends more time on complex problems and responds instantly to simple ones, optimizing both speed and quality.
Is GPT-5.1 free?
No, GPT-5.1 is not free. You can use GPT-5.1 by subscribing to it through Monica, consulting our pricing page.
