FAQs
Does GPT-5.4 Pro offer cache discounts?
OpenAI hasn’t published cache rates for the Pro tier yet, so TokenTally conservatively models the $30/$180 baseline.
How do I budget for long context?
If you plan to exceed 272K tokens per session, double the input rate and multiply outputs by 1.5x. Add that multiplier to the scenario if needed.
Who needs Pro vs. standard GPT-5.4?
Use Pro when you need deterministic reasoning, better tool reliability, or SLA-backed throughput. Otherwise GPT-5.4 is cheaper and still frontier-grade.
