OpenAI Cuts Developer Pricing for GPT-5.6 Sol Model by Over 20%PreviousNext

OpenAI has reduced the developer pricing for its frontier GPT-5.6 Sol model by over 20% for the next three months, effective on its API and applicable to eligible plans for ChatGPT Work and Codex. Prices for Pro, Plus, and Business subscriptions remain unchanged. This move follows recent price cuts for smaller models and aims to address growing competition from Anthropic and Chinese AI providers. Anthropic's comparable models are priced higher, with Claude Fable 5 and Claude Opus 5 listed at 10 and 5 per million input tokens, respectively.
