gpt-5.3-codex β API, Pricing & Context Window | Vivgrid
gpt-5.3-codex on Vivgrid: OpenAI's Codex-tuned coding model on the Responses API, with a 400K context window and geo-distributed acceleration.
gpt-5.3-codex is OpenAI's Codex-optimized coding model, tuned for agentic software engineering: editing files, running tools, and iterating in a loop. It is served on the Responses API (/responses), the surface that Codex and similar coding CLIs expect.
With a 400K-token context window and geo-distributed acceleration across AMER and EMEA, it delivers low-latency, long-horizon coding sessions on Vivgrid through a single API key.

| Cold prompt, nothing cached | $0.0630 |
| Warm prompt, 90% of the input served from cache | $0.0347 |
API surfaces
The Vivgrid Console catalogs gpt-5.3-codex on one surface, all behind the same API key. The endpoint shown is the one the Console previews for that surface.
| Surface | Primary endpoint | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Vibe coding | /responses | Coding CLIs and IDE agents that drive the model themselves β point the tool at Vivgrid and keep your own loop. |
