OpenAI rolls out cost-saving updates for its AI services

OpenAI has announced several updates aimed at reducing costs for users of its AI services. These include a 12-hour prompt caching feature to lower input expenses for repetitive tasks, and the ability for administrators to restrict API projects from using expensive service tiers. Additionally, a new Decisions API aims to minimize token waste by providing quick, bounded outputs, and a prompt-to-voice feature allows for free custom voice design. OpenAI models are also now available through Google Cloud Marketplace, and new real-time voice models and parallel agent capabilities are being rolled out for faster responses and improved efficiency.
