About OpenAI o4-mini

o4-mini is a reasoning and coding model from OpenAI with a 128K-token context window and up to 100K tokens of output per call. It is billed per token at the provider's list rate, with no markup on chat tokens. It is served through BlockRun's OpenAI-compatible API, so it can be called without an account, an API key, or a subscription.

What it costs

o4-mini is billed per token. The underlying rates are $1.10 per million input tokens and $4.40 per million output tokens with no platform margin on chat tokens; only a small per-transaction fee covering on-chain settlement is added on top, and the resulting price is quoted in the 402 before you pay. You are charged for the tokens a request actually consumes — there is no monthly commitment and no unused balance to forfeit. With a context window of 128,000 tokens and up to 100,000 tokens of output, a single call can carry a substantial working set.

Calling it from your code

Pass openai/o4-mini as the model field. Because the endpoint mirrors the OpenAI chat completions schema, any existing OpenAI client works by changing the base URL — streaming, tool use, and multi-turn messages all behave the same way.

The first request returns a 402 carrying the exact price; a signed retry runs it, and client libraries fold the two into one call — how the payment works. See the documentation for request and response shapes, the LLM API page for every model on this endpoint, or browse the full catalog of 78 chat models to compare alternatives.
