GPT-4 Turbo compression

GPT-4 Turbo costs $10 per million input tokens — four times more than GPT-4o. Compression is essential for keeping costs manageable.

GPT-4 Turbo economics

At $10/1M input tokens, a 4,000-token prompt costs $0.04. At 10,000 queries/day, that's $400/day in input alone. Compression to 1,400 tokens drops this to $140/day. Annual savings: $94,900.

Frequently asked questions

Does compression affect GPT-4 Turbo differently?

No. Compression is model-agnostic. The same compressor works for all GPT models.

Should I use a lower compression budget for GPT-4 Turbo?

GPT-4 Turbo is more capable of handling compressed input, so standard compression budgets work well.
