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=800,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.0260 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $4.00/MTok
# Output: $20.00/MTok

What drives resume parsing cost

Resumes are longer than invoices and less uniformly structured, so input runs higher while output stays compact. Like invoice parsing this is a bulk, latency-tolerant workload where the batch API discount applies to the entire request. The parsing instructions are identical across every candidate, which puts them squarely in the cached prefix.

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 2,500/800 token split, output accounts for 62% of the $0.0260 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 $0.009000 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.
