That's what I was thinking. I hoped to see a price drop, but this does not change anything for my use cases.

I was using gpt-4o-mini with batch API, which I recently replaced with mistral-small-latest batch API, which costs $0.10/$0.30 (or $0.05/$0.15 when using the batch API). I may change to 4.1-nano, but I'd have to be overwhelmed by its performance in comparision to mistral.

I don't think they ever committed themselves to uniformed pricing for mini models. Of course cheaper is better but I understand pricing to be contingent on factors specific to every next model rather than following from a blanket policy.

Seems like 4.1 nano ($0.10) is closer to the replacement and 4.1 mini is a new in-between price
