Model
GPT-5.6 Sol API pricing
Compare the published GPT-5.6 Sol (gpt-5.6-sol) list rate with corouter's outlet rate, and estimate a monthly token bill. 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.
Where this model fits
- Existing gpt-5.6-sol clients you do not want to retarget
- Long mixed-document reviews already pinned to this ID
- Orchestration steps where this ID was the qualified choice
Estimates only. Actual billing depends on your real token counts, cache hit rate, and the prices in effect at request time.
