Use case
GPT-5.6 Sol prompt caching
prompt caching notes for gpt-5.6-sol: the rate card, a worked volume, and when to send this ID. A sample of 1 million input tokens plus 200 thousand output tokens is about $2.20 on corouter (input $1.00, output $1.20).
Cache-read rate
Cache read for gpt-5.6-sol lists at $0.500 and is $0.100 on corouter per million tokens. Uncached input is $1.00.
Only the input that actually hits cache is billed at the cache-read rate. This page does not promise your prompt will hit.
Where this ID sits
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.
