Quick start

Call GPT 5.6 Sol with the OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-sol",
    max_tokens=2000,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.0420 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $4.00/MTok
# Output: $20.00/MTok

What drives copywriting cost

Creative generation is output-dominated: a one-line brief produces paragraphs. Output rate is the number to compare, and the gap between tiers widens with length. Brand voice guidelines and examples are resent on every call and never change, which makes them the obvious candidate for caching.

For GPT 5.6 Sol specifically, that means output tokens cost 5.0x more than input, at $20.00 vs $4.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 500/2,000 token split, output accounts for 95% of the $0.0420 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $4.00 to $0.40/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.001800 per call.

Batch API: 50% off all tokens

Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
