Can openai api process time differ based on it’s account type. I have one tier-1 account and another tier-4 account. I am passing same context and request to both apis but tier-1 is taking 26s while tier-4 is taking 3-4 s.
Hi and welcome to the Developer Forum!
Yes, Higher Tier accounts can be moved to lower latency servers.

So, will the customer need to select the account type or it will be done by openai ? Also, how openai will decide that which account should be moved to lower latency servers ?
The more you spend on API calls the higher your Tier, that is done automatically by OpenAI.
As a customer, can we make special request to switch the tier or move the account to lower latency servers ?
We have one client, who has created his account but somehow, it is taking so long time to get the response compared to our own account.
The only method I know of would be to put credit on that account to push it to a higher tier and also wait the required number of days for it to take effect.
