GPT-5.4 nano API Pricing

Deprecated: OpenAI announced on October 1, 2026 that gpt-5.4-nano leaves the API on April 1, 2027, and names GPT-6 Luna as the replacement. OpenAI's cheapest GPT-5.4-class model for simple high-volume tasks: $0.20/M input, $1.25/M output, and $0.02/M cached input. It is built for classification, extraction, ranking, routing, and small subagents where cost matters more than maximum capability.

GPT-5.4 nano API pricing FAQ.

Practical GPT-5.4 nano pricing questions, with OpenAI's published rates separated from workload assumptions.

Q · 01 When does GPT-5.4 nano stop working? +
On April 1, 2027. OpenAI deprecated gpt-5.4-nano and its snapshot gpt-5.4-nano-2026-03-17 on October 1, 2026 and recommends GPT-6 Luna, which lists at $0.10/M input and $0.50/M output against $0.20 and $1.25 here. Until the shutdown nano bills at the rates on this page.
Q · 02 What is the standard GPT-5.4 nano API price? +
OpenAI lists gpt-5.4-nano at $0.20/M input tokens, $0.02/M cached input tokens, and $1.25/M output tokens. This page stores the public list price in USD and marks the source as OpenAI's pricing docs.
Q · 03 How much cheaper is GPT-5.4 nano than GPT-5.4 mini? +
Under the shared 92/8 agentic blend with 82% cache hits, GPT-5.4 nano is about $0.15/M while GPT-5.4 mini is about $0.54/M. That makes nano roughly 3.6x cheaper for the same token mix.
Q · 04 How much cheaper are Batch and Flex? +
OpenAI lists Batch and Flex for gpt-5.4-nano at half the standard rate: $0.10/M input, $0.01/M cached input, and $0.625/M output. That is the best fit for latency-tolerant bulk classification or extraction.
Q · 05 Is Priority pricing available for GPT-5.4 nano? +
No Priority row is listed for gpt-5.4-nano on OpenAI's pricing page. The Priority table lists gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, and gpt-5.4-mini, so this page does not publish a Priority rate for nano.
Q · 06 Does GPT-5.4 nano have regional pricing? +
Yes. OpenAI states that regional processing/data-residency endpoints carry a 10% uplift for gpt-5.4-nano and related GPT-5.4/5.5 models. Standard global routing uses the public standard rate.
Q · 07 Does GPT-5.4 nano support computer use? +
No. OpenAI's model page lists computer use as Not supported for gpt-5.4-nano. Use GPT-5.4 mini or GPT-5.4 when browser or desktop automation is part of the workload.
Q · 08 What release date is used here? +
OpenAI's model page lists the first GPT-5.4 nano snapshot as gpt-5.4-nano-2026-03-17. This page uses 2026-03-17 as the model release date for pricing-history purposes.
Q · 09 How accurate is the tokenizer estimate? +
The live widget uses an estimated 4.875 characters per token for English text and labels the tokenizer as tiktoken-o200k_base. It is good for budget planning, but exact billing can differ by language, whitespace, code, tool calls, and image inputs.
