}'What is GPT Audio Mini good for?
The id for GPT Audio Mini in our API is "openai/
Capabilities available on this id: it accepts audio 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.
For a back-of-envelope figure: about 1,350 toman per 1,000-word exchange (207,732 in, 830,926 out, per 1M tokens). 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 Nemotron 3 Super: GPT Audio Mini works out about 10% 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 74 thousand-word requests on GPT Audio Mini, and every 1,000 toman is about 741 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 1,038,658 toman in total. Filling this model's 128,000-token window costs 26,590 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, presence_penalty, 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.
What to use it for: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema.
A cost-efficient version of GPT Audio. The new snapshot features an upgraded decoder for more natural sounding voices and maintains better voice consistency. Input is priced at $0.60 per million...
