How we count
Prices are per million input tokens; an embedding model writes no output, so there is no blend. A price below OpenAI's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why.
- Maker's price
- What the lab that trained the model charges on its own API. Every other row is measured against it.
- Same as maker
- Sold by someone else at the price the maker charges.
- Costs more
- Sold by someone else for more than the maker charges.
- Not ranked
- Below the maker's price on a closed model with nothing to account for it, or from a catalog we could not read reliably. Listed, and never a pick.
