What is GPT-4o (2024-11-20) good for?

The id for GPT-4o (2024-11-20) in our API is "openai/gpt-4o-2024-11-20", served from OpenAI. Context is 128,000 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 16,384 tokens. On price it sits in the "expensive" band — cheaper than 52 and dearer than 319 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 takes files such as PDFs as input; 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 865,548 toman per 1M tokens and output at 3,462,194 — output costs 4× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 432,774 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. 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 Claude Opus 5.5 (batch), and GPT-4o (2024-11-20) costs about the same, 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 18 thousand-word requests on GPT-4o (2024-11-20), and every 1,000 toman is about 178 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 4,327,742 toman in total. Filling this model's 128,000-token window costs 110,790 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "openai/gpt-4o", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (5,626 and 5,626 toman). On parameters the other takes max_completion_tokens.

OpenAI has 81 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is gpt-oss-120b at 28 toman per thousand words and the dearest GPT-5.5 Pro at 94,518. Among the less common parameters it accepts logit_bias, logprobs, prediction, presence_penalty, top_logprobs, web_search_options — 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.
