About GPT-5 Mini

GPT-5 Mini by OpenAI is available on API Many from $0.22 per million input tokens and $1.76 per million output tokens, and you call it with the same API key you use for every other model.

It accepts OpenAI-style chat requests with streaming and tools, has a 128K context window and can return up to 16,000 tokens per response.

Prompt caching is supported: cached input tokens are billed at the lower cached rate shown in the price table.

You pay only for successful results: failed or rejected requests are refunded automatically, and every call is recorded in your console with its exact cost.
