Pricing — 1 offering(s)
About this offering: OpenAI's GPT-4o (omni) multimodal model with a 128K-token context, at $2.50 input and $10 output per 1M tokens. OpenAI shuts down the original gpt-4o-2024-05-13 snapshot ($5 / $15) on 2026-10-23, with GPT-5.6 Sol as its replacement; the gpt-4o alias itself has no announced shutdown date (OpenAI pricing and deprecations pages, checked 2026-10-11). Price history here starts on 2026-06-15: OpenAI doesn't publish when the gpt-4o alias moved to today's price (it launched on the earlier 2024-05-13 snapshot), so earlier dates aren't shown rather than shown with an unsourced price.

Operator guidance
Route here when GPT-4 capability is needed at a significantly lower price, or when multimodal input is required. Step up to o3 for deep reasoning tasks, or down to GPT-4o mini for high-volume cheap completions.
Use cases
- General-purpose chat and completion workloads
- Multimodal tasks (image understanding, audio)
- Legacy production integrations replacing GPT-4
Limitations
- Superseded by GPT-5.5 for pure text quality but still competitive at this price
- Capability ratings are qualitative, not a single cited benchmark run
