Quick start

Call GPT 5.4 with the OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.4",
    max_tokens=100,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.002250 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $2.50/MTok
# Output: $15.00/MTok

Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $2.50 to $0.25/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000675 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.
