Editorial Analysis

Profile. GPT-4 is a premium-tier model from OpenAI at $60.00/M output tokens. Benchmark scores (e.g. Coding Index 13.1) suggest it targets workloads where correctness matters more than cost — long-running agents, code generation at scale, and complex multi-step reasoning.

Cost model. For a workload of 1M input tokens + 100K output tokens, GPT-4 costs $36.00 per million input-equivalent requests. Multiply by your monthly request volume to project the bill, and compare against the speed/correctness profile above to decide if the trade-off is worth it for your workload.
