the life science model just skipped the launch. openai quietly listed gpt-rosalind-discovery on its api price page oct 10, at the same 5 dollars per million input as its research twin.
the announcement now happens after the listing.
Context
OpenAI's pricing page lists gpt-rosalind-research at $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output. LiteLLM's model page says that as of Oct 11, 2026 GPT Rosalind Discovery costs the same $5.00 input and $25.00 output, with cache reads at $0.50.
OpenAI introduced GPT-Rosalind for life sciences research on Apr 16, 2026, with an update dated Sep 11, 2026. Its help center calls it an enterprise offering for eligible research teams.
The $5 per million input price for the research model and for the discovery model match. A tracker says the discovery price has not changed since it started tracking. That OpenAI listed gpt-rosalind-discovery quietly on Oct 10 was not seen in the sources read, so unsupported here, not refuted. The sources show GPT-Rosalind was announced in April 2026. 'The announcement now happens after the listing' is the author's opinion.
