OpenAI API pricing, models and deprecations

Briefpanel reads OpenAI's API pricing page, API changelog, model catalog and deprecations page once a day and records what changed: a new model, a price that moved, a shutdown date that was set. Every item below comes straight from OpenAI's developer docs and shows when that page was last checked.

Check the price on OpenAI's pricing page before you commit to a budget: the page there is what you will be billed by.
