How to interpret the Cheapest o4 Mini Inference Providers

1 of 1 o4 Mini endpoint currently have the published data required for this ranking. OpenAI leads at $2.2 / 1M tokens via openai. The table keeps unranked routes visible so missing measurements do not look like missing provider availability.

How estimated token cost is ranked

The cheapest ranking uses a 1,000-input/500-output-token ratio and reports the blended result per 1 million total tokens. Because providers can price input and output differently, a workload with a different token ratio may produce a different order.

Compare OpenAI with the next option

Only 1 route currently qualifies, so the rank alone provides limited choice. Review every visible endpoint for price, speed, uptime, context length, and route-specific configuration.

Use the route, not only the provider name

o4 Mini has 1 published provider option, and performance data is matched to each exact OpenRouter routing tag. Different quantization, context, regional deployment, or provider configuration can change price and behavior even when the underlying model name is identical.
