OpenAI priced GPT-5 so low, it may spark a price war
OpenAI stunned the AI market by undercutting rivals with GPT-5 pricing—$1.25 per million input tokens and $10 per million output (plus caching fees). That matches Google’s Gemini rates and sharply beats Anthropic’s Claude Opus costs. Early testers praise its coding chops and aggressive cost-effectiveness versus GPT-4o. Industry watchers say OpenAI’s move could trigger an AI model price war, easing fees for startups and developers burdened by high inference expenses.
