Input priceWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it. | $0.40 | — |
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. | $0.10 | — |
Cheapest inputLowest input rate across third-party providers, excluding the lab itself. The cheapest endpoint may run a quantised build or a shorter context — see "Available from" on the model page. | $0.40Azure | — |
Cheapest outputLowest output rate across third-party providers, excluding the lab itself. May come from a different provider than the cheapest input. | $1.60Azure | — |

Frequently asked questions
GPT-4.1 mini and Grok‑2 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 Grok‑2. Grok‑2 shipped 243 days before GPT-4.1 mini, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.
Published specifications for these two models are limited — see each model page for the latest details.
