Frequently asked questions
o3-mini (openai) costs $1.10 per 1M input tokens and $4.40 per 1M output tokens, as last published by openai.
o3-mini has a context window of 200,000 tokens (the maximum combined input and output it can handle in a single request).
o3-mini sits in the small size tier. Size tiers run from micro (small enough to run on a device) through small, medium and large to extra large (frontier flagships), and are assigned from the model's family, naming and limits rather than its price.
o3-mini can generate up to 100,000 tokens in a single response. Reasoning (thinking) tokens count toward this limit.
o3-mini's training data runs through May 2024, so it may not know about later events. Coolhand records the cutoff at month precision, since providers often publish only the month.
o3-mini accepts text as input and produces text as output, as recorded in the Coolhand catalog.
No — the weights of o3-mini have not been released, so it is only available through hosted APIs.

Since o3-mini is deprecated, openai customers are moving to GPT-4, GPT-Image-2, and o1 Mini.
Call GET https://coolhandlabs.com/api/v2/inference_apis?q[source_api_eq]=openai&q[model_eq]=o3-mini — free, no API key required, and scoped to just this model since source_api and model together are unique. See https://coolhandlabs.com/docs for the full REST API reference.
Coolhand also tracks GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo 0125, GPT-3.5 Turbo 1106, GPT-3.5 Turbo Instruct, GPT-4 Turbo Vision, and GPT-4 from openai. Some may already be deprecated, so check each model's status alongside its current pricing.
