OpenAI Slashes GPT-5.6 Sol API Prices Over 20% for Three Months
Summary
OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 Sol API prices by more than 20% for the next three months, with input tokens dropping from $5 to $4 and output from $30 to $20 per million. The cuts apply to ChatGPT Work and Codex credits, while Pro, Plus, and Business subscription prices stay unchanged. This follows last month's 80% cut to Luna and 20% cut to Terra, signaling aggressive pricing pressure from Anthropic and Chinese models. The move directly undercuts Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 at $5/$25 and Claude Fable 5 at $10/$50, intensifying the frontier model price war. For a company reportedly considering an IPO, this pricing strategy may pressure near-term margins but aims to defend developer market share.
