OpenAI GPT Mini Latest is one of OpenAI's models. Put "~openai/gpt-mini-latest" in the model field and the rest of your code stays as it is. OpenAI GPT Mini Latest keeps 400,000 tokens in view at once, and that number is what caps the conversation history in your product. A single response can run to 128,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "mid-range" band — cheaper than 284 and dearer than 122 of the other paid models in the catalogue.
What it can do beyond plain text: 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; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.
Pricing is 217,594 toman per 1M input tokens and 1,305,563 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on OpenAI GPT Mini Latest lands near 1,980 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 21,759 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 Gemini 3.5 Flash (batch): OpenAI GPT Mini Latest works out roughly 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 51 thousand-word requests on OpenAI GPT Mini Latest, and every 1,000 toman is about 505 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 1,523,156 toman in total. Filling this model's 400,000-token window costs 87,038 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-5.4-mini", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (1,980 and 1,980 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 max_completion_tokens, reasoning_effort — all through the standard request body. It does not support temperature, top_p, 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 Lite 1.0 at 300,000 tokens.
Good fits: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
This model always redirects to the latest model in the OpenAI GPT Mini family.
