OpenAI o4-mini API — scheduled shutdown 2026-10-23

OpenAI o4-mini API lists USD 1.10 per 1M input tokens, USD 0.275 per 1M cached input tokens and USD 4.40 per 1M output tokens, with a 200K-token context window. The model is deprecated and its snapshot and alias are scheduled for API shutdown on October 23, 2026; OpenAI names gpt-5.6-terra as the recommended replacement.
