> Fastest, most cost-efficient version of GPT-5

Model ID: `gpt-5-nano`

GPT-5 Nano is our fastest, cheapest version of GPT-5. It's great for
summarization and classification tasks. For most new speed- and
cost-sensitive workloads, we recommend starting with
[GPT-5.6 Luna](/api/docs/models/gpt-5.6-luna). Learn more in our
[Model guidance](/api/docs/guides/latest-model) page.

## Rate limits

Rate limits ensure fair and reliable access to the API by placing specific caps on requests, tokens, audio duration, or other usage within a given time period. Your usage tier determines how high these limits are set and automatically increases as you send more requests and spend more on the API.
