GPT-4 example: tool calling
The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

}'What is GPT-4 good for?
GPT-4 comes from OpenAI; in uttapen you reach it with the model id "openai/
What it can do beyond plain text: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper.
Pricing is 10,386,581 toman per 1M input tokens and 20,773,161 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on GPT-4 lands near 40,508 toman. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.
The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Command R+ (08-2024): GPT-4 works out about 7.2× more expensive, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.
To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 2 thousand-word requests on GPT-4, and every 1,000 toman is about 25 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 31,159,742 toman in total. Filling this model's 8,191-token window costs 85,076 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.
Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "openai/
OpenAI has 81 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is gpt-oss-20b at 49 toman per thousand words and the dearest GPT-5.5 Pro at 94,518. Among the less common parameters it accepts logit_bias, logprobs, max_completion_tokens, presence_penalty, top_logprobs — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, max_tokens, reasoning, structured_outputs, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Gemma 2 27B at 8,192 tokens.
Good fits: work where the quality of the answer matters more than its cost, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, short single-turn requests (the context window is small).
OpenAI's flagship model, GPT-4 is a large-scale multimodal language model capable of solving difficult problems with greater accuracy than previous models due to its broader general knowledge and advanced reasoning...

Frequently asked
- How do I call GPT-4 from Iran?
- Sign up with your mobile number, top the wallet up in toman, create an API key, then in the official OpenAI SDK point base_url at https:/
/ api.uttapen.ir/ v1 and set model to "openai/ gpt-4". Nothing else in your code changes. - What does GPT-4 cost in toman?
- 10,386,581 toman per 1M input tokens and 20,773,161 toman per 1M output tokens; a 1,000-word request is around 40,508 toman. You pay for the usage that request actually reported, and a failed request costs nothing.
- How much input does GPT-4 take?
- Up to 8,191 tokens per request, roughly 6k words. A single answer can reach 4,096 tokens.
- Does GPT-4 support streaming and tool calling?
- Streaming (stream=true) works on every model here. This one supports tool calling in the standard OpenAI shape. Structured output through response_format works too.
