Slight increase in model cost, but looks like benefits across the board to match. gpt-5.2 $1.75 $0.175 $14.00 gpt-5.1 $1.25 $0.125 $10.00

- jtbayly 10mo ago40% increase is not "slight."
- credit_guy 10mo agoNot the OP, but I think "slight" here is in relation to Anthropic and Google. Claude Opus 4.5 comes at $25/MT (million tokens), Sonnet 4.5 at $22.5/MT, and Gemini 3 at $18/MT. GPT 5.2 at $14/MT is still the cheapest.
- deaux 10mo agoYour numbers are very off. $25 - Opus 4.5 $15 - Sonnet 4.5 $14 - GPT 5.2 $12 - Gemini 3 Pro Even if you're including input, your numbers are still off.
- credit_guy 10mo agoI used the pricing for long context (>200k) in all cases. I personally use AI as coding assistants, like lots of other people, and as such, hitting and exceeding 200k is quite the norm. The numbers you are showing are for <200k context length.
- deaux 10mo agoI also use them as coding assistants among other things, like lots of other people, and hitting and exceeding 200k is absolutely not the norm unless you're using a large number of huge MCP servers. At those context sizes output quality significantly declines, even with the claims of "we support long context". This is why all those coding assistants use auto-compression, not just to save money, but largely to maintain quality. In any case, >200k input calls are a small fraction of all. Ironically at that input size, input costs dominate rather than output, so if that's the use case you're going for you want to be including those in your named prices anyway.
- commandar 10mo agoIn particular, the API pricing for GPT-5.2 Pro has me wondering what on earth the possible market for that model is beyond getting to claim a couple of percent higher benchmark performance in press releases. >Input: >$21.00 / 1M tokens >Output: >$168.00 / 1M tokens That's the most "don't use this" pricing I've seen on a model. https://openai.com/api/pricing/ https://openai.com/api/pricing/

- arthurcolle 10mo agogpt-4-32k pricing was originally $60.00 / $120.00.
- Leynos 10mo agoSomeone on Reddit reported that they were charged $17 for one prompt on 5-pro. Which suggests around 125000 reasoning tokens. Makes me feel guilty for spamming pro with any random question I have multiple times a day.
- asgraham 10mo agoThose prices seem geared toward people who are completely price insensitive, who just want "the best" at any cost. If the margins on that premium model are as high as they should be, it's a smart business move to give them what they want.
- wahnfrieden 10mo agoPro solves many problems for me on first try that the other 5.1 models are unable to after many iterations. I don't pay API pricing but if I could afford it I would in some cases for the much higher context window it affords when a problem calls for it. I'd rather spend some tens of dollars to solve a problem than grind at it for hours.
