Best listed rates (this pair)
Same "best row in current pricing" logic as model pages: a compact view of the lowest input and output we show for each side. This is not the seller matrix.
Catalog map · OpenAI
Each chart uses real catalog rows that include both list input and list output ($/1M). Larger green dots are the models on this comparison page; accent dots are other active models from that provider.
OpenAI · input vs output
Scatter chart: X = input $/M, Y = output $/M. This page's models are labeled on the green dots; hover others for detail.
One dot per catalog row that has both list prices. Green dots are labeled with the models on this page; hover any dot for name and prices. Upper-right means higher cost on both axes ($/1M).
