Frequently asked questions

How much does GPT-4o cost on Crazyrouter?

GPT-4o costs $2.75 per 1M input tokens and $8.25 per 1M output tokens on Crazyrouter based on the latest pricing sync. That is 45% lower than the direct list price used on this page.

Why would a team choose GPT-4o instead of GPT-5?

GPT-4o is often the safer choice when you want mainstream multimodal coverage, lower latency, and a simpler cost profile. GPT-5 is the better choice for harder reasoning and coding-heavy workloads.

Can I migrate an existing OpenAI integration to Crazyrouter quickly?

Yes. GPT-4o is available behind an OpenAI-compatible API. In most cases you only change the base URL, API key, and optionally the model name.

What makes this page worth indexing long term?

This page is maintained as a conversion-oriented landing page with live pricing, implementation examples, model fit guidance, and an explicit review date so it stays more useful than a thin template page.

What context window does GPT-4o support?

This page tracks GPT-4o with a 128K context window and an estimated 16K max output, which is enough for many production assistant and analysis use cases.

When should I not use GPT-4o?

If your main requirement is deeper reasoning or long chain-of-thought behavior, a reasoning-oriented model like GPT-5 or o3 may be a better fit. If your main requirement is lowest cost at scale, a cheaper model may make more sense.
