Which is cheaper, Devstral Small 1.1 or GPT OSS 20B?
As of August 25, 2026, GPT OSS 20B is 38% cheaper on blended LLM API pricing. GPT OSS 20B costs $0.05 per million input tokens and $0.20 per million output tokens ($0.25 blended 1M-in + 1M-out). Devstral Small 1.1 costs $0.10 / $0.30 per million tokens ($0.40 blended). Sources: https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/pricing/ and https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing. The cheapest LLM for your app still depends on how many output tokens you generate.
How much does Devstral Small 1.1 vs GPT OSS 20B cost per million tokens?
Devstral Small 1.1 Mistral API pricing is $0.10 input and $0.30 output per million tokens via Mistral AI. GPT OSS 20B OpenAI API pricing is $0.05 input and $0.20 output per million tokens via OpenAI. Use those four numbers, not ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro subscription prices, when you are comparing APIs.
Which is better for coding, Devstral Small 1.1 or GPT OSS 20B?
Devstral Small 1.1 has a published SWE-bench Verified score of 53.6%. GPT OSS 20B does not have that eval on this page yet.
What is the context window for Devstral Small 1.1 vs GPT OSS 20B?
Devstral Small 1.1 supports a 128K token context window, while GPT OSS 20B supports 131K tokens. GPT OSS 20B offers a larger context window. Filling a larger window bills more input tokens, so the cheaper-per-million model can still cost more on long documents.
Which model performs better on benchmarks, Devstral Small 1.1 or GPT OSS 20B?
Shared benchmark scores for Devstral Small 1.1 and GPT OSS 20B are still limited. Check the comparison table for the evals each model has published. Check the comparison table for GPQA Diamond, SWE-bench, MMLU, HLE, and the other evals we track. Token price and benchmark score together are the usual LLM comparison, not either number alone.
Is Devstral Small 1.1 or GPT OSS 20B better for production use?
Both Devstral Small 1.1 and GPT OSS 20B are production API models. For cost-sensitive production traffic, GPT OSS 20B has better economics on the blended 1M-in + 1M-out scale. For maximum capability, weight the benchmark table for your domain. Many production stacks route cheap models for drafts and a frontier model for the hard turn, which is usually cheaper than sending everything to the expensive API.
Can I switch between Devstral Small 1.1 and GPT OSS 20B in my app?
Yes. Call Devstral Small 1.1 through Mistral AI and GPT OSS 20B through OpenAI with separate API keys, or through a gateway that already wraps both. Keep prompts in tokens, not characters, when you estimate the invoice. AnotherWrapper templates can swap providers without rewriting auth and billing.
How accurate is this Devstral Small 1.1 vs GPT OSS 20B pricing data?
List rates are the latest published Mistral API pricing and OpenAI API pricing, quoted per million tokens. Official rate sheets: https://docs.mistral.ai/platform/pricing/ and https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing. Prompt caching, batch APIs, and committed-use discounts can change the invoice. Benchmark scores are from official publications and independent evals, updated as new numbers land.
What is the output token limit for Devstral Small 1.1 and GPT OSS 20B?
Devstral Small 1.1 supports up to 128K output tokens per request, while GPT OSS 20B supports up to 33K output tokens. Output tokens are usually the expensive half of API pricing, so a higher max output cap is a capability, not a discount.
Which model has better throughput, Devstral Small 1.1 or GPT OSS 20B?
Devstral Small 1.1 runs at approximately 137.1 tokens/second while GPT OSS 20B runs at 1000 tokens/second. GPT OSS 20B is faster in raw throughput. Throughput (tokens per second) and time-to-first-token are why two models with the same per-million-token price can still feel different in chat and agents.
How do I switch the models in this Devstral Small 1.1 vs GPT OSS 20B comparison?
Use the model pickers at the top of this LLM comparison. Search any model in the index and the URL updates. Open Devstral Small 1.1 or GPT OSS 20B from the sidebar for the single-model API pricing page, or go back to the LLM pricing table to sort by cheapest blended cost.
