Paid by card or in USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, no KYC, nothing added on the top-up. ChatGPT 5.2 is the app; GPT-5.2 is this, the model by API.

GPT-5.2 API pricing

## GPT-5.2 and its neighbours, per million tokens

USD per million tokens, read from the catalog at render. OpenAI's [pricing page](https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing) is the source for the list column; cached input is lower on every row that supports it.

## What a request and a month cost

Two shapes at today's price: a chat turn (2,000 tokens in, 500 out) and a long document (50,000 in, 2,000 out). The month is 50,000 chat turns, uncached.

| Model | Chat turn | Long document | 50,000 turns | Same month at list |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [GPT 5.2](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.2) | $0.0105 | $0.1155 | $525.00 | $525.00 |
| [GPT 5.2 PRO](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.2-pro) | $0.4032 | $4.44 | $20,160.00 | — |
| [GPT-5.3-Codex](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.3-codex) | $0.0105 | $0.1155 | $525.00 | $525.00 |
| [GPT 5.6](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.6) | $0.0036 | $0.0475 | $178.20 | — |
| [GPT-5.6 Sol](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.6-sol) | $0.0039 | $0.066 | $195.00 | $900.00 |
| [GPT-5.6 Luna](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.6-luna) | $0.0006 | $0.0074 | $30.00 | $50.00 |
| [GPT-5.6 Terra](https://relayswitch.io/models/gpt-5.6-terra) | $0.0042 | $0.0672 | $210.00 | $500.00 |

Uncached input. A prompt that repeats a long system message pays the cached rate on the repeated part where the model supports it.

GPT-5.2 API key

## A key in three steps, then the first request

1.  01
    
    Open an account
    
    An email address. No OpenAI account, no identity documents, no phone number.
    
2.  02
    
    Top up
    
    From $10 by card, Apple Pay, PayPal or in USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL. USD balance, no expiry, no subscription.
    
3.  03
    
    Create a key
    
    In the console, with a monthly spend limit if you want one. Use gpt-5.2 as the model id.
    

Base URL `https://api.relayswitch.io/v1`, your key (it starts with `sk-relay-`), the model id. Nothing else changes.

python

1`from openai import OpenAI`

2

3`client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.relayswitch.io/v1", api_key="sk-relay-...")`

4`reply = client.chat.completions.create(`

5 `model="gpt-5.2",`

6 `messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello in five words."}],`

7`)`

8`print(reply.choices[0].message.content)`

bash

1`curl https://api.relayswitch.io/v1/chat/completions \`

2 `-H "Authorization: Bearer $RELAYSWITCH_KEY" \`

3 `-H "Content-Type: application/json" \`

4 `-d '{"model": "gpt-5.2", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'`

Tools, response\_format, streaming and the usage block are OpenAI's shapes; OpenAI's [GPT-5.2 model page](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.2) documents the model's limits. Swap the id for `gpt-5.3-codex` in a coding agent or `gpt-5.6` for the newer line; the balance and the key do not change.

**What is stored:** the email address, the top-ups, the keys, and one usage record per request (request id, model, token counts, charge). **Not stored:** request and response bodies, a name, an ID, a phone number, or a card for crypto top-ups. The [privacy page](https://relayswitch.io/privacy) has the list.
