With GPT-6 Luna (which is what the parent comment was talking about), that would come to 3.2¢, assuming GPT-6 used the same number of tokens.

I don't think you can guess more precisely than an order of magnitude from trying each once on one task.

DS is VERY talkative. Luna is less so. Still do not think, based on this little experiment, that Luna could beat DS in price: API-to-API. As part of a Plus/Pro plan? Sure.

Its style of writing is part of the fun. Seeing reasoning traces fly by that each start with “Hmm…” is pretty amusing in my opinion especially if you try to vocalize it in your mind.

		In a discussion about cost effectiveness, how subjectively fun the writing feels like to the reader isn't a factor, except maybe if we were working on writing comedy.

Well, DS shows the thinking stream so it feels that way, but I’ve realized that OpenAI hiding it just gives a false impression - the non thinking output is also very wordy for OpenAI models.
