GPT Audio Mini questions
How much does the GPT Audio Mini API cost?
$0.60 per million input tokens and $2.40 per million output tokens. The estimator on this page turns that into a monthly bill for your own workload.
What is the context window of GPT Audio Mini?
128,000 tokens of input, and it can write up to 16,384 tokens in one reply. As a rough guide, a million tokens is around 750,000 English words.
Does GPT Audio Mini support tool calling?
Yes. It accepts tool definitions and can return JSON that matches a schema, which is what an agent needs to call your APIs.
Is GPT Audio Mini open source?
No. OpenAI serves it through an API only, so you cannot download the weights or host it yourself.
When was GPT Audio Mini released?
Jan 19, 2026.
Catalog data from models.dev (MIT licensed), refreshed daily, last on Oct 15, 2026. The summary is written from these facts.
Building on GPT Audio Mini?
I test your real tasks on it and the two closest alternatives, then ship the agent on whichever wins on cost and accuracy.
