Pricing page updated for O1 API costs.

https://openai.com/api/pricing/

$15.00 / 1M input tokens $60.00 / 1M output tokens

For o1 preview

Approx 3x the price of gpt4o.

o1-mini $3.00 / 1M input tokens $12.00 / 1M output tokens

About 60% of the cost of gpt4o. Much more expensive than gpt4o-mini.

Curious on the performance/tokens per second for these new massive models.

I guess they'd also charge for the chain of thought tokens, of which there may be many, even if users can't see them.

That would be very bad product design. My understanding is that the model itself is similar to GPT4o in architecture but trained and used differently. So the 5x relative increase in output token cost likely already accounts for hidden tokens and additional compute.

So yeah, it is in fact very bad product design. I hope Llama catches up in a couple of months.

Most likely the model has similar size compared to the original gpt4, which also has similar price.
