When to Choose GPT-5.6 Sol

Ideal for production workloads demanding flagship capabilities, deep context depth (200k tokens), and reliability from OpenAI. Excellent when predictable tokenomics and prompt caching support are paramount.

When Another Model May Be Better

If your use-case requires sub-second streaming latency or ultra-high frequency classification at micro-cent pricing, consider lighter budget options such as Gemini Flash-Lite or Claude Haiku. For deep formal logic, consider dedicated reasoning models like o3.

Frequently Asked Questions About GPT-5.6 Sol

How much does 1 million tokens cost with GPT-5.6 Sol?

For GPT-5.6 Sol, 1 million input tokens costs $4.00, while 1 million output tokens costs $20.00. If using prompt caching, repetitive input prefixes are discounted to $2.00 per million.

What is the context window for GPT-5.6 Sol?

GPT-5.6 Sol features a maximum context window of 200,000 tokens (~150,000 words), with a maximum output limit of 16,384 tokens per completion.

Which tokenizer does GPT-5.6 Sol use?
