GPT Realtime 2.1 vs nova-2-sonic
何时使用哪一个 — 经过整理的结论,而非基准测试表格
两者均是按每百万 token 计费的实时音频和文本模型,因此费率可直接比较:nova-2-sonic 收取 $3 音频输入和 $12 音频输出,而 gpt-realtime-2.1 为 $32 和 $64;文本方面为 $0.06/$0.24 对比 $4/$24,并具有 1000000 上下文和 64000 最大输出,而非 128000 和 32000。如果其 8 分钟连接限制和仅限同区域(in-Region-only)推理适合你,请为成本敏感的较长语音会话选择 nova-2-sonic;当你需要 $0.4 的缓存输入读取,并且没有此类会话或区域限制时,请选择更新的 gpt-realtime-2.1(2026-07-06 发布)

GPT Realtime 2.1 和 nova-2-sonic 哪个更便宜?
在 音频输入 / 1m tokens 方面,nova-2-sonic 更便宜($3 对比 $32,相差 11×)。其他行可能得出相反的结论——上方表格提供了完整信息,实际成本取决于你的组合使用情况。
我可以在不进行两次集成的情况下,对 GPT Realtime 2.1 和 nova-2-sonic 进行 A/B 测试吗?
可以。两者均通过同一个兼容 OpenAI 的端点提供服务,并使用同一把 API 密钥——切换只需更改一行模型字符串,因此你可以将一部分流量路由到各个模型并直接比较账单。
GPT Realtime 2.1 和 nova-2-sonic 支持提示词缓存吗?
我们的信息流中仅列出了两者之一的缓存读取定价;如果缺少费率,则说明该提供商没有对缓存读取单独定价。
