Summary

OpenAI: o3 Pro does not yet carry a Known Good Index score — the index needs at least one science, one mathematics and one coding result. It accepts text, file, image input, outputs text, and supports a 200k-token context window.

Pricing is $20.00 per 1M input tokens (above the $2.10 average) and $80.00 per 1M output (above the $9.62 average). At 12 tokens per second it sits in the slowest quarter of the models we track.

How OpenAI: o3 Pro compares against every tracked model

Known Good IndexCapability indices
Known Good Index

Composite of GPQA Diamond, Mock AIME 2024–25, MATH Level 5, SWE-bench Verified, LiveBench, Humanity's Last Exam and Terminal-Bench, normalised 0–100. Scores are ingested from their publishers; we do not run these evaluations.

Price & Cost

Published API pricing by token type

BlendedInput vs outputQuality per dollar
Blended Price

USD per 1M tokens at a 3:1 input:output blend. Live from OpenRouter, cross-checked against models.dev. Lower is better.

The Known Good
We publish blended price rather than cost-per-task. Cost-per-task requires token counts from an evaluation suite we do not run. Blended price is computed from published rates and is fully reproducible — see the pricing methodology.
