What you save

A page is about 600 tokens in and 60 out, a support reply 200 in and 300 out, an email 150 in and 250 out. Nothing else is counted: no cache discount, no batch rate, no free tier.

Evidence

Each is a measurement of the stated version and configuration. Two benchmarks are not the same test, and a score is not the chance your own work succeeds.

On a server by the month

OpenAI publishes the weights, so you can run gpt-oss-120b on a server you rent by the month. It needs about 65.5 GB of RAM on a CPU, and the cheapest plan we track with that much and a disk included is Leaseweb VPS 6 at $65.69 a month, streaming about 4.2–8.5 tok/s. Every plan that fits

On a GPU by the hour

The A100 80GB PCIe holds gpt-oss-120b in 80 GB of memory against the 65.5 GB the weights, the context and the runtime need. The cheapest one we track is RunPod's A100 PCIe · Community Cloud at $1.19/GPU-hr, which is $868.70 for the 730 hours in a month, checked 31 Oct. Every price for the A100 80GB PCIe

How we count

Prices are per million tokens. The big number on each row is blended 3 in : 1 out, the way most work uses a model. A price below OpenRouter's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why. OpenAI trained gpt-oss-120b and sells it on no catalog we read, so the price every row is measured against is OpenRouter's.

Resells
The provider sells another company's endpoint, at a margin of its own or at the maker's price.
Lower precision
The open weights, served at a lower precision than the maker's, so not quite the same product.
Runs it themselves
The provider runs the open weights on hardware of its own, so the price is its own rather than a resale.
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.
Free tier
Given away inside a quota. A limit is not a price, so it is never called cheapest.
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.
