As we continue to push the frontier of capabilities while improving efficiency, we’re dropping API and credit pricing of GPT-5.6 Sol by over 20% for the next 3 months. Starting today, you get the same Sol intelligence at a lower price. Sol now costs $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million o…

Sol now costs over 20% less, (Terra costs 20% less, and Luna costs 80% less.) Sol’s promotional pricing is available at least through November 21, 2026. GPT-5.6 API pricing changes - July 30 + Sol promo Aug 21 - Nov 21+ Prices are in USD per 1 million tokens. New for “Sol” is the promotional pr…

[image] proflead: What happens It is logical to assume the price will revert to the standard Sol pricing up to now. The possibility is left open for the discount to continue past the stated three months. However, in the interim, there not just three months for OpenAI to find “efficiencies” s…

Regarding price drops being an annoyance: If it’s not too much to ask, you can forward your 5.6-Sol usage to a proxy API where I charge you the original price and donate the margin back to this community in the form of swag or maybe community hackathon prizes. Thank you for considering this idea.

No worries: the price of free for 10M daily Terra tokens didn’t change. Billing clients for the free daily complementary tokens when sharing their data for training, not disallowed. Only if you promise to not run moderation and let those strikes pile up, though, a great service!..

In three months there will likely be a new model release which would likely margin the discounted price. Discounting is only slightly minimizing revenue. I doubt a 20% is going on the books as a “loss”. Point is, in three months there’s a good chance the 20% remains?

Terrible! Why not just increase the normal plan quota by 20%? It clearly feels like they want us to burn through the subscription limit and then pay extra for more credits. Really disappointing — I’m honestly close to switching to another AI.
