Frequently asked questions

How much does the GPT-3.5-turbo API cost?

Input costs $0.5 per 1M tokens (42.25 ₽) and output costs $1.5 per 1M (127 ₽). OpenAI bills the prompt and the completion separately, so the price of a call depends on how long both are. Ruble figures use the Bank of Russia rate of 84.51 ₽ per dollar for September 2026.

How much do 1,000 GPT-3.5-turbo tokens cost?

List prices are quoted per 1M tokens, so 1,000 tokens cost a thousandth of that: divide $0.5 for input and $1.5 for output by 1,000. The same rates in rubles are 42.25 ₽ and 127 ₽ per 1M tokens. Both prompt tokens and completion tokens are billed.

How many tokens does GPT-3.5-turbo hold?

The GPT-3.5-turbo context window is 16K tokens (16,385). Everything shares that budget: the system prompt, the dialogue history, attached files and the answer the model writes. The figure comes from the OpenAI model card as of September 2026.

What are the GPT-3.5-turbo limits?

The context window is 16K tokens (16,385) and a single response is capped at 4K tokens, so longer output has to be generated in parts. Rate limits are set by OpenAI per account and depend on your plan rather than on the model, so they are not listed here.

How is the GPT-3.5-turbo price in rubles calculated?

Providers quote their tariffs in US dollars, so the ruble amounts here are a conversion at the official Bank of Russia rate of 84.51 ₽ per dollar. For GPT-3.5-turbo that gives 42.25 ₽ per 1M input tokens and 127 ₽ per 1M output tokens. When the rate moves, the ruble price moves with it.

How is GPT-3.5-turbo different from other ChatGPT models?

GPT-3.5-turbo belongs to the GPT family at OpenAI. Models in the ChatGPT line differ in context size, price per 1M tokens and supported capabilities, so compare them by the numbers on their cards rather than by the name. Every ChatGPT model is listed on the provider page.
