Question about GPT-4o Mini pricing difference
I noticed a big pricing gap between the official OpenAI API and Vapi’s listed rate.
According to OpenAI’s official pricing, GPT-4o Mini costs:
* $0.15 per 1M input tokens
* $0.60 per 1M output tokens
But on Vapi, it shows as $0.01 per 1M tokens.
Is this a subsidized or internal discounted rate, or does Vapi calculate usage differently (like averaging or batching across calls)?
Would appreciate clarification on how that pricing works internally.
