Measured by Zumik
What reuse looks like here.
Pricing, context, and capabilities for GPT-5 Chat are live, but it is outside the flagship set Zumik benchmarks in depth, so measured reuse, capture, and warm TTFT are not shown yet. Run a workload estimate or route it by id to start collecting traces.
What you actually pay once caching works.
At a typical 55% prefix reuse, a million input tokens on GPT-5 Chat effectively costs $0.63 instead of $1.25 - blending to roughly $2.97 with a 25% output share. Background work drops a further 50% on the batch tier.
Estimate it for your workloadRoute it directly by id, or let an alias pick it when it wins under policy.
