GPT-4o mini

by OpenAI

Current budget cheap tier
Availability: OpenAI still prices the bare gpt-4o-mini alias per token on its own rate card and announces no shutdown date for it. Several gpt-4o-mini VARIANTS do carry dates — gpt-4o-mini-realtime and gpt-4o-mini-audio on 2027-01-20, gpt-4o-mini-search-preview-2025-03-11 on 2026-07-23 — but those are separate SKUs, so this row carries no shutdown date. Checked against OpenAI's deprecations page on 2026-08-24.
