GPT-4 Turbo example: reading an image into JSON
The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

GPT-4 Turbo is one of OpenAI's models. Put "openai/gpt-4-turbo" in the model field and the rest of your code stays as it is. GPT-4 Turbo keeps 128,000 tokens in view at once, and that number is what caps the conversation history in your product. A single response can run to 4,096 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 381 and dearer than 25 of the other paid models in the catalogue.
What you get on top of text in, text out: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; 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.
Input runs at 2,901,250 toman per 1M tokens and output at 8,703,750 — output costs 3× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. 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 Fugu Ultra: GPT-4 Turbo works out roughly 1.1× 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 7 thousand-word requests on GPT-4 Turbo, and every 1,000 toman is about 66 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 11,605,000 toman in total. Filling this model's 128,000-token window costs 371,360 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.
This id gets confused with "openai/gpt-4-turbo:batch", because the underlying model is the same. The difference is the suffix: no suffix (the standard variant) against "batch". On a thousand-word request this variant works out 2× dearer (15,087 against 7,543 toman).
OpenAI has 95 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is gpt-oss-20b at 60 toman per thousand words and the dearest o1-pro at 282,872. Among the less common parameters it accepts logit_bias, logprobs, top_logprobs — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, reasoning, 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 Nova Micro 1.0 at 128,000 tokens.
Where it makes sense: work where the quality of the answer matters more than its cost, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema.
The latest GPT-4 Turbo model with vision capabilities. Vision requests can now use JSON mode and function calling. Training data: up to December 2023.

Frequently asked
- How do I call GPT-4 Turbo 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-turbo". Nothing else in your code changes.
- What does GPT-4 Turbo cost in toman?
- 2,901,250 toman per 1M input tokens and 8,703,750 toman per 1M output tokens; a 1,000-word request is around 15,087 toman. You pay for the usage that request actually reported, and a failed request costs nothing.
- How much input does GPT-4 Turbo take?
- Up to 128,000 tokens per request, roughly 96k words. A single answer can reach 4,096 tokens.
- Does GPT-4 Turbo support streaming and tool calling?
- Streaming (stream=true) works on every model here. This one supports tool calling in the standard OpenAI shape. Image input is accepted through image_url, as a data URI or a public URL. Structured output through response_format works too.
