OpenAI Expands API Offerings With o1-Pro Model At Premium Pricing: Check Out Availability
While o1-pro has been accessible to ChatGPT Pro users since December, its availability for developers comes with a minimum spend requirement of $5 on OpenAI’s API services.

OpenAI has introduced its high-powered o1-pro model to select developers via its API, providing a premium option for those seeking enhanced AI capabilities. The model, which builds on the o1 reasoning framework, delivers superior performance by leveraging greater computing power to generate more accurate responses.
While o1-pro has been accessible to ChatGPT Pro users since December, its availability for developers comes with a minimum spend requirement of $5 on OpenAI’s API services. The company is positioning the model as a top-tier option for developers who require advanced AI reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
Premium Pricing Reflects Enhanced Performance
OpenAI has set the pricing for o1-pro at a premium level. Developers using the API will pay $150 per one million input tokens, which equates to approximately 750,000 words, and $600 per million output tokens. This marks a significant increase over other models, with costs being double those of GPT-4.5 for input tokens and ten times higher than the standard o1 reasoning model for output tokens.
“o1-pro in the API is a version of o1 that uses more computing to think harder and provide even better answers to the hardest problems. After getting many requests from our developer community, we’re excited to bring it to the API to offer even more reliable responses,” an OpenAI spokesperson was quoted as saying by TechCrunch.
Stronger AI Capabilities for Complex Tasks
According to OpenAI’s internal benchmarks released last year, o1-pro offers improved reliability and problem-solving skills compared to its standard counterpart. The model demonstrates enhanced proficiency in mathematical reasoning and coding tasks, making it a valuable asset for developers seeking higher precision in AI-driven applications.
With Microsoft’s backing, OpenAI continues to refine its AI offerings, catering to a growing market of developers willing to invest in cutting-edge technology. The o1-pro model’s launch for API users underscores the company’s commitment to expanding access to high-performance AI tools.
