Model
GPT-5.2 API pricing
Compare the published GPT-5.2 (gpt-5.2) list rate with corouter's outlet rate, and estimate a monthly token bill. GPT-5.2 shares the 272K window and list rate with the Codex IDs but does not carry the Code tag. Send gpt-5.2 for chat, reasoning, and vision at that rate.
Where this model fits
- Chat and reasoning at the same list rate as the Codex IDs
- Vision jobs that fit the 272K window
- Clients that want gpt-5.2 rather than a Codex ID
Estimates only. Actual billing depends on your real token counts, cache hit rate, and the prices in effect at request time.
