  "summary": "OpenAI has reduced the pricing for its GPT-5.6 Sol model by over 20% for developers. The price cuts are effective on OpenAI's application programming interface, or API, and apply to eligible plans for credits on its agentic AI product ChatGPT Work and coding tool Codex.\n\nThe new prices for GPT-5.6 Sol are $4 per 1 million input tokens and $20 per 1 million output tokens for standard short-context use, according to Investing.com. This compares to previous prices of $5 and $30, respectively. The price cuts are in place for the next three months, as reported by Techmeme.\n\nOpenAI's pricing for Pro, Plus and Business subscriptions remains unchanged. The company has also previously reduced prices for its smaller models, including a 20% cut for the mid-tier GPT-5.6 Terra model and an 80% cut for the lower-cost Luna model.",
