GPT-5.6 Sol

GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI's generally available frontier GPT-5.6 model for complex professional work, hard reasoning, software engineering, and scientific tasks, including a documented model-assisted idea behind a 2026 Maxwell-conjecture counterexample.

🚀Function Overview

The frontier GPT-5.6 tier for difficult professional, reasoning, and coding tasks where stronger capability justifies a higher per-token price.

Key Features

Official OpenAI GPT-5.6 family member with model ID gpt-5.6-sol
OpenAI's frontier GPT-5.6 tier and the target of the gpt-5.6 alias
Generally available across the OpenAI API, ChatGPT, and Codex
Acknowledged by a July 2026 mathematics paper for suggesting the counterexample construction idea later verified and proved by the authors
1,050,000-token context window and 128,000-token maximum output
February 16, 2026 knowledge cutoff with reasoning-token support
$5 input, $0.50 cached input, and $30 output per 1 million tokens
Prompts above 272K input tokens use 2x input and 1.5x output rates; cache writes use 1.25x uncached input

Use Cases

•Escalating difficult Codex software engineering tasks
•Testing high-stakes reasoning tasks before choosing a production model route
•Generating candidate mathematical constructions for human proof and computer-algebra verification
•Comparing Sol against cheaper GPT-5.6 Terra or Luna runs
•Evaluating long-context, cache-write, and output-token costs before broad rollout

⚙️Input Parameters

messages

array

Chat or reasoning task messages sent to the OpenAI API or through a supported OpenAI product surface.

model

string

Use gpt-5.6-sol for the explicit Sol tier or gpt-5.6 for the alias that OpenAI routes to Sol.

reasoning_effort

string

Choose a supported reasoning effort for the task; OpenAI positions max for harder work and exposes multi-agent orchestration separately in the Responses API beta.

Input Parameters

{
  "model": "gpt-5.6-sol",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Review this failing distributed-systems test and propose the smallest verified fix."
    }
  ],
  "reasoning_effort": "max"
}

Output Results

A response from GPT-5.6 Sol. Validate quality and total cost against Terra or Luna before making Sol the production default.
