Hey all, I’m building a simple chat bot feature in my application.
I see the gpt-5-nano is their cheapest model, but that seems to be a reasoning model, which I don’t really need. It also is quite slow in terms of chat response time.
The gpt-5-chat model is great, but the difference in cost is quite scary. Is it really that expensive or am I missing something?
Does gpt-5-nano use more tokens by default because it is a reasoning model? Anyways, yeah let me know what the most cost effective balanced with good ux model is here
