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=100,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.004000 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $4.00/MTok
# Output: $20.00/MTok

What drives sentiment analysis cost

Short text in, a label or score out: the cheapest shape an API call can take. Output pricing is irrelevant at this size. Because these run in bulk over historical data as often as in real time, the batch API discount typically applies, and the effective rate lands well below list.

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 500/100 token split, output accounts for 50% of the $0.004000 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.

How can I reduce my GPT 5.6 Sol costs for sentiment analysis?

Three strategies lower GPT 5.6 Sol costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 90% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.004000 to about $0.000200 per call.

How does GPT 5.6 Sol pricing compare to other GPT models?

GPT has 4 other models alongside GPT 5.6 Sol today: GPT 5.5 at $5.00/$30.00 per million tokens (flagship), GPT 5.4 at $2.50/$15.00 per million tokens (mid-tier), GPT 5.6 Terra at $2.00/$12.00 per million tokens (mid-tier), GPT 5.6 Luna at $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens (fast / budget). The right choice depends on whether your sentiment analysis workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.

What context window does GPT 5.6 Sol support?
