Questions about Azure rates
Do these Azure figures include discounts and tax?
No. They are public list rates. Commits, credits, regions, tax, and commercial discounts are not in the number — check the source linked on each model.
When is the more expensive Azure tier worth the extra?
GPT-5.4 (Azure Global, short context) sits near $6.25 per 1M tokens on a 70/30 mix, versus $0.285 on GPT-4o mini (Azure Global). Use the high tier when retries or long reasoning actually fail on the cheap one.
