Overview & Methodology
GPT-4o mini is OpenAI’s lightweight model designed for high-volume enterprise pipelines, customer service bots, and data extraction. At $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.60 per 1M output tokens, it is over 90% cheaper than GPT-4o.
Mathematical Formulation
Single Cost = (Input / 1M × 0.15) + (Output / 1M × 0.60). Monthly Cost = Single Cost × Daily Requests × 30.Optimization Best Practices
Replace legacy GPT-3.5-turbo with GPT-4o mini to gain superior multimodal vision capabilities at a 60% lower cost.
Ideal for real-time streaming chat, summarization, and RAG search query rewriting.
Leverage batch API endpoints to slash costs by an additional 50% for asynchronous background data processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.How much does 100,000 requests to GPT-4o mini cost?
