Slight increase in model cost, but looks like benefits across the board to match.

  gpt-5.2 $1.75 $0.175 $14.00
  gpt-5.1 $1.25 $0.125 $10.00

40% increase is not "slight."

[credit_guy]

Not the OP, but I think "slight" here is in relation to Anthropic and Google. Claude Opus 4.5 comes at $25/MT (million tokens), Sonnet 4.5 at $22.5/MT, and Gemini 3 at $18/MT. GPT 5.2 at $14/MT is still the cheapest.

In particular, the API pricing for GPT-5.2 Pro has me wondering what on earth the possible market for that model is beyond getting to claim a couple of percent higher benchmark performance in press releases.

That's the most "don't use this" pricing I've seen on a model.

Last year o3 high did 88% on ARC-AGI 1 at more than $4,000/task. This model at its X high configuration scores 90.5% at just $11,64 per task.

General intelligence has ridiculously gotten less expensive. I don't know if it's because of compute and energy abundance,or attention mechanisms improving in efficiency or both but we have to acknowledge the bigger picture and relative prices.

Those prices seem geared toward people who are completely price insensitive, who just want "the best" at any cost. If the margins on that premium model are as high as they should be, it's a smart business move to give them what they want.

gpt-4-32k pricing was originally $60.00 / $120.00.

Pro solves many problems for me on first try that the other 5.1 models are unable to after many iterations. I don't pay API pricing but if I could afford it I would in some cases for the much higher context window it affords when a problem calls for it. I'd rather spend some tens of dollars to solve a problem than grind at it for hours.

Less an issue if your company is paying

Someone on Reddit reported that they were charged $17 for one prompt on 5-pro. Which suggests around 125000 reasoning tokens.

Makes me feel guilty for spamming pro with any random question I have multiple times a day.

[llmslave]

They probably just beefed up compute run time on the what is the same underlying model

[anvuong]

In what world is that a slight increase?
