GPT-5 Pro API
Send openai/gpt-5-pro when the workload is worth 15 input and 120 output per million tokens. The listed window is still 400,000 tokens, the same as GPT-5 and Mini. If you have not compared that bill to openai/gpt-5 at 1.25 / 10, do not ship Pro as the default. CacheSafety is unpublished.
What is GPT-5 Pro API in NextModel?
Send openai/gpt-5-pro when the workload is worth 15 input and 120 output per million tokens. The listed window is still 400,000 tokens, the same as GPT-5 and Mini. If you have not compared that bill to openai/gpt-5 at 1.25 / 10, do not ship Pro as the default. CacheSafety is unpublished.
GPT-5 Pro via NextModel: 400k-token context; $15 / 1M tokens in / $120 / 1M tokens out per 1M tokens. Capabilities: streaming, tool, json.
Best use cases
- Explicit Pro spend, not an accidental default.
- 400k OpenAI vision or tool work that you already decided is not a Mini or GPT-5 job.
- A paid overflow path behind cheaper GPT-5 ids on the same gateway.
When not to use
- You wanted 400k OpenAI cheaply. That is Mini or GPT-5.
- You need a cache score. Pro has no first-party row.
- You need more than 400k. GPT-5.4 lists 1,050,000 at 2.50 / 15.
