gpt-4.1-mini pricing (openai)
gpt-4.1-mini costs $0.40 per million input tokens and $1.60 per million output tokens. On Potion's live measurements it runs from $0.2520 per 1,000 requests, and its strongest measured workload is code generation (quality 0.988).
per-token list price + measured per-request cost from live traffic-shaped suites · method
Per-token prices say little about what a request costs: input/output profiles differ per workload, and reasoning-style models spend hidden tokens. The table below is the number a bill is made of — measured cost per 1,000 requests, with the measured quality it buys, per kind of work this model appears on the live frontier for.

a model appears here only for workloads where it sits on the live measured frontier — absence means it was measured and beaten, or not yet measured
