Both windows are 1.1M. GPT-5.4 Pro is listed with these modalities: Chat, Reasoning, Vision. GPT-5.6 Sol is listed with these modalities: Chat, Reasoning, Code, Vision.
When to send gpt-5.4-pro
GPT-5.4 Pro is the outlier on the rate card: its list output rate is far above GPT-5.4. Send gpt-5.4-pro only when you have already chosen that ID on purpose.
Both are OpenAI IDs. The field you change is model: gpt-5.4-pro or gpt-5.6-sol.
When to send gpt-5.6-sol
GPT-5.6 Sol remains the high GPT-5.6 ID, with a list rate above GPT-6 Sol and below GPT-6 Astra. Send gpt-5.6-sol when an existing client already pins that ID.
Both are OpenAI IDs. The field you change is model: gpt-5.6-sol or gpt-5.4-pro.
