Specifications
ParametersThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality.

Output priceWhat you pay for the text the model writes back. It is normally the dearer half: producing an answer costs more than reading one.
$1.60—
Cached input priceA reduced rate for text you send over and over. If every request starts with the same instructions or the same document, the provider keeps a copy ready and charges less to read it again.

Frequently asked questions

GPT-4.1 mini and Qwen3.8-27B don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. Only GPT-4.1 mini has a verified first-party API price: $0.40 per million input tokens and $1.60 per million output tokens. No pay-as-you-go API rate is tracked for Qwen3.8-27B. GPT-4.1 mini shipped 487 days before Qwen3.8-27B, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.

Context windows are 1M (GPT-4.1 mini) vs 262k (Qwen3.8-27B). GPT-4.1 mini is closed, while Qwen3.8-27B is open weight.
