OpenAI Launches Flex Processing Solution to Reduce AI Usage Costs

OpenAI has released the Flex processing solution, which exchanges lower response speeds and allows "occasional resource unavailability" for a lower API price. This solution is applicable to the o3 and o4-mini models and is aimed at non-production tasks such as model evaluation and data augmentation.

Flex processing halves the API costs: the input/output token prices for o3 are reduced to $5/M and $20/M respectively; for o4-mini, they are reduced to $0.55/M and $2.20/M. However, OpenAI also requires developers at levels 1 - 3 to complete ID verification before they can use the o3 model, stating that this is to prevent service abuse.
