Frequently asked questions
How much does o4-mini cost?
o4-mini costs $1.10 per 1M input tokens and $4.40 per 1M output tokens, sourced from openai. Cache reads, audio tokens and >200K-context tiers (where applicable) are listed in the Pricing detail block above.
What is the context window of o4-mini?
o4-mini has a context window of 200K tokens, with a max output of 100K tokens per reply. This is the total combined size of prompt + completion.
Does o4-mini support tool calling?
Yes. o4-mini supports tool calling (function calling). This makes it suitable for production agent and automation workloads where the model has to invoke external functions reliably.
Does o4-mini support structured output / JSON mode?
Yes. o4-mini supports structured output / JSON-schema-constrained decoding. This makes it suitable for production agent and automation workloads where the model has to invoke external functions reliably.
Can o4-mini accept image input?
Yes. o4-mini accepts both text and image input. Vision pricing per image is usually billed on top of the regular token rate — check OpenAI's docs for the exact rule.
Is o4-mini open-weight?
No. o4-mini is a proprietary model — only OpenAI (and any approved hosting partners) can serve it. The pricing above reflects the cheapest API access.
What are the best alternatives to o4-mini?
If o4-mini doesn't fit, consider GPT OSS 120B, GPT OSS 20B, GPT-5.2. Each one targets the same use case — see the Related links below for direct head-to-head pages.
Where does this data come from?
All numbers come from the public models.dev API and are normalised into a single canonical model record. We re-pull daily and write any changes (price, context, capability) to the /changelog page.
