How cheap is GPT 4o-mini?

Welcome to our guide on how to calculate the API key cost for using GPT Breeze.

In short, it costs approximately $0.031875 per day, which is less than a dollar a month for summarizing 50 videos each day using GPT-4o mini. Below is the calculation:

Token usage for summarizing a 15-minute video:

Let’s assume the video transcript has about 1,500 words (approximately 100 words per minute).

Each word is roughly 1.5 tokens, so 1,500 words would be around 2,250 tokens.

For simplicity, let’s assume the summary uses about 500 tokens.

Average token usage per video:

Input tokens: 2,250
Output tokens: 500
Total tokens per video: 2,750

Cost per video:

Input cost: ( \frac{2,250}{1,000,000} \times 0.15 = $0.0003375 )
Output cost: ( \frac{500}{1,000,000} \times 0.60 = $0.0003 )
Total cost per video: ( $0.0003375 + $0.0003 = $0.0006375 )

See OpenAI GPT 4o-mini pricing

Cost for 50 videos:

Total cost per day: ( 50 \times 0.0006375 = $0.031875 )

So, summarizing 50 videos each day would cost you approximately $0.031875 per day, which is less than a dollar a month.

What is OpenAI API Key?

An OpenAI API Key is a unique identifier used to authenticate and authorize access to OpenAI models such as GPT-4o mini with stable, reliable, and fast priority access. It operates on a pay-as-you-go basis.

I purchased GPT Breeze, do I need an API Key

Yes. Picture this: GPT Breeze is like a car, and the AI model from OpenAI (such as GPT-4o mini) is the fuel. The car needs fuel to run; the GPT Breeze extension is the tool that brings the "smartness" of the model to your browser.

Why is Using an OpenAI API Key Better than ChatGPT Plus Subscription?

The API key offers a pay-as-you-go model, while ChatGPT Plus requires a fixed monthly fee of $20. Since GPT-4o mini is very affordable, let's do the calculation bellow.
