Do API Calls to a Fine-Tuned Model on a Website Incur Charges?

I have fine-tuned a model that I plan to integrate into our website
I am wondering if using the OpenAI API to make inference calls to my fine-tuned model will incur usage charges. I understand the fine-tuning process itself involves a cost, but I'm not sure if additional API calls are billed separately.
Any clarification or guidance on this pricing structure would be appreciated.

Your fine-tuned model is still accessed via the OpenAI API, so you'll incur API usage charges when you make calls to it from your website. In other words, after paying for the fine-tuning process itself, any subsequent API requests (i.e., inference calls) to your fine-tuned model will be billed according to your usage tier and the applicable usage rates.
For more details on how these costs are structured, you can refer to the cost estimation guidelines provided in the fine-tuning documentation and review your usage tier in your account settings, which outlines the limits and associated charges based on your spending.
