GPT-6 Sol API Pricing & Cost Calculator

GPT-6 Sol costs $2.00 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens, exactly half of GPT-5.6 Sol ($4.00/$20.00), with the same 922K context and 128K max output. In the GPT-6 lineup it sits between Astra ($10.00/$50.00) and Luna ($0.10/$0.50) — so despite sharing a name with 5.6's flagship-tier Sol, it is the middle option here. It is priced identically to Claude Sonnet 5 ($2.00/$10.00). Batch API $1.00/$5.00, cached input $0.20/1M.
