OpenAI: GPT-4o (2024-11-20)

openai/gpt-4o-2024-11-20 · OpenAIDeclared and measured agree

Tokenizer lineage (measured): GPT
Declared tokenizer tag: GPT
Entered catalogue: 20 November 2024
Last tested: 5 October 2026
Evidence confidence: Very high

Why very high: an exact fingerprint shared with 40 models and an identical API contract inside the same group: two signals of different kinds agree.

Evidence

✓ exact tokenizer signature shared with 40 models
✓ API-surface contract identical to a group member

Identity statement

OpenAI: GPT-4o (2024-11-20) is OpenAI's model. Its measured tokenizer sits with the GPT group, which is evidence that it builds on the GPT tokenizer. Tokenizer reuse is normal engineering, open vocabularies travel between labs, and this says nothing against OpenAI's authorship of the model itself.

What we checked

Four different kinds of evidence, and what each one showed

We checked	What we found	Where it came from
How it counts tokens	Counts every one of the 50 test strings exactly like 40 other models	tk_d1411c9d
How its API is set up	Set up identically to 3 other listings, field for field	api_610b4004
How much it can read and write	Reads up to 128,000 tokens at once, writes up to 16,384	its own listing
Who served our requests	OpenAI	we measured it, 5 October 2026

The measured fingerprint

What each test string cost this model, in tokens

We sent OpenAI: GPT-4o (2024-11-20) fifty short pieces of text and recorded what each one cost it in tokens. The bars below are those costs. Two models built on the same tokenizer produce the same bars; a model built on a different one produces a different set, which is what makes this a fingerprint.
