They’re not charging anything for o1 right now - it’s running as a free beta.
EDIT: Actually I’m not sure I’m correct about that - I’ve seen screenshots that indicate the API model is being charged for here: https://twitter.com/deepaiwriter/status/1834460643228897512
The value OpenAI get here is that people effectively run a massively parallel brute force attack against the new models to figure out exactly what they can and can’t do.

I'm pretty sure the value they get is the money you pay.
No, in this case it really is the usage. This is a brand new model and nobody knows how best to use it yet. OpenAI researchers have been tweeting as much (sadly I’ve lost the tweet).
