Quick start

Call GPT 5.4 Mini with the OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.4-mini",
    max_tokens=800,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.004725 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $0.75/MTok
# Output: $4.50/MTok

What drives faq bot cost

The most bounded question-answering shape: a short question against a fixed knowledge base, with a short answer. Because the knowledge base never changes between calls, cache reads apply to nearly the entire input, and the effective cost per answer falls well below the list rate. A fast-tier model is usually sufficient when the answers are already written.

For GPT 5.4 Mini specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $4.50 vs $0.75 per MTok. At this use case’s 1,500/800 token split, output accounts for 76% of the $0.004725 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $0.75 to $0.08/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.001012 per call.

Batch API: 50% off all tokens

Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
