Our take
o3 from OpenAI offers a 200K-token context window and is well-suited to strong tool calling, multi-step reasoning, coding, long-context work. Pricing is $2/M input · $8/M output, billed per token through the provider API.
Watch for the trade-offs: weights are closed, so you cannot self-host.
