About GPT-5.6 Sol pricing

GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s top-tier model, aimed at the hardest reasoning, coding and agentic work. It is billed per token: $5.00 for every million tokens you send and $30.00 for every million tokens it generates, so output costs 6× as much as input.

For a typical request of 1,000 input and 500 output tokens, GPT-5.6 Sol costs about $0.02 — the 12th-cheapest of the 14 models we track. One million input tokens is roughly 2,000 pages of English prose.

With OpenAI’s batch API (50% off, results within 24 hours) the rate drops to $2.50 input and $15.00 output per million tokens.
