How this price is scoped: OpenAI prices this model per 1M tokens on two separate modalities: text at $2.50 input / $10.00 output, and audio at $32.00 / $64.00. The tracked figures are the TEXT rates, matching how the realtime rows are tracked. OpenAI publishes no cached-input rate for this model on either modality, so the cached-input column is empty rather than estimated.
