Price receipt

No confirmed receipt. We hold dated captures of OpenAI's pricing page, but none of them tied o4-mini to the price above on that page, so we do not claim this number is sourced. This model is deprecated and shuts down while it remains purchasable, confirm the current rate on the provider's page before relying on it.
