How OpenAI pricing scales
Input pricing varies 99% across the lineup ($0.10 → $20.00/1M). At 1M requests/month with ~1K input tokens, the cheapest variant costs roughly $0.10 while the flagship runs $20.00 — a 99% gap that compounds fast at scale. Output-token pricing follows the same tiering, so long-form generation amplifies the difference.
Which variant to pick
OpenAI combines multimodal input with tool use across 12 active variants. The lineup spans $0.10–$20.00/1M input, so you can scale vision + agent workloads without overpaying on the cheap end or sacrificing quality on the flagship.
OpenAI notes
OpenAI sits in the General Purpose category. Industry-leading AI models with state-of-the-art reasoning and multimodal capabilities. The 1M maximum context window (on GPT-4.1) is the largest in this lineup — enough to ingest entire codebases or long documents in one call.
Cost in practice
Real-world fit: OpenAI variants power document-understanding apps — OCR-free receipt parsing, screenshot-to-code, and visual Q&A. Cheaper vision variants handle high-volume extraction; the flagship tackles nuanced visual reasoning.
