What changes total API cost?

Start with the OpenAI-route target price, then measure the actual workflow. Long outputs, retries, tool calls, low cache hit rates and poor task fit can make a low-price model more expensive in practice.

Pricing FAQ

Are OpenAI-route prices always exactly one tenth?

They target one tenth of official OpenAI API list price where a route and comparable official list price are available. Live /pricing remains the final source because model availability, routing and admin configuration can change.

Why does this guide avoid fixed price claims?

API prices and model availability can change. This page gives target-price anchors, but the live pricing table is the source for current costs before routing traffic.

How should I test a new model?

Run a representative prompt batch, measure usage and response quality, compare it with at least one fallback model, then move a small percentage of traffic.

What should I do before a high-volume job?

Set a spend cap, log non-sensitive usage metrics, confirm the selected model price, and keep a fallback route for errors or rate limits.

TKEN is an independent third-party API gateway. It is not an official endpoint for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM or other model providers. OpenAI-model routes target one tenth of official OpenAI API list price where available; live /pricing remains the source of truth.
