# GPT-3.5 Turbo

**Current Snapshot:** gpt-3.5-turbo-0125

GPT-3.5 Turbo models can understand and generate natural language or code and
have been optimized for chat using the Chat Completions API but work well for
non-chat tasks as well. As of July 2024, use gpt-4o-mini in place of GPT-3.5
Turbo, as it is cheaper, more capable, multimodal, and just as fast. GPT-3.5
Turbo is still available for use in the API.
