[Question] Best value GPT API providers for small projects?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since this is the OpenAI Developer Community Forum, I would suggest using the OpenAI API directly, and gpt-5.4-mini specifically. The pricing is very reasonable for the model’s capabilities, but the best choice still depends on your actual use case. Maybe you can share a little more about your project so others can help you pick the most cost-efficient model.
