Is there a free GPT-4.1 API available?

Hi everyone, where can I get the free gpt4.1api? I want to do some research, but I found that the price is very expensive. Is there any special plan discount or related research that can be provided for free?

For short time here:

EDIT:

All info about 4.1:

Thanks, but I think what I need is the API, so I’m still looking for it. Thank you very much for your reply.

There is no “the free API” - but the pricing can certainly go lower, lower than gpt-3.5-turbo with “nano”, and especially with a growing chat of turns being cached, now a 75% discount on cache-matching inputs.

Model Input ($/1 M tokens) Cached Input ($/1 M tokens) Output ($/1 M tokens)
gpt-4.1 $2.00 $0.50 $8.00
gpt-4.1-mini $0.40 $0.10 $1.60
gpt-4.1-nano $0.10 $0.025 $0.40

What are you going to do with your 10 million tokens of input for $1.00 today? :grinning_face:

I’m testing some calculations, and to be honest, only 4.1 is OK, and one process costs about $0.3
