GPT-5.1 API

OpenRouter’s slug is openai/gpt-5.1. You pay the listed token rate from OpenRouter credits, not a ChatGPT subscription.

Updated 2026-09-27

On 27 Sep 2026 the models API listed openai/gpt-5.1 at $1.25 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, cache reads at $0.125 per million, and a 400,000-token context. The card describes it as a GPT-5 generation model with adaptive reasoning. A batch slug, openai/gpt-5.1:batch, was half of that: $0.625 and $5.

There is also openai/gpt-5.1-codex at the same $1.25 / $10, and gpt-5.1-codex-mini at $0.25 / $2. A coding agent should name the codex slug if that is the one you evaluated. The plain gpt-5.1 slug is the general model.

The call uses the OpenRouter base URL and your OpenRouter key. You do not paste an OpenAI platform key unless you have set up bring-your-own-key on the account. A ChatGPT Plus login does not add GPT-5.1 credit here.
