Every monthly plan that includes GPT-5.6 Sol, converted to requests per $1 at the model's typical request shape. Same engine as the main calculator — proxy estimates carry a ~ marker; coarse estimates carry ≈.
GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI's GPT-5.6-line flagship for agentic work — the successor to GPT-5.5; OpenAI's GPT-6 generation (Astra flagship, Sol and Luna mid/low tiers) landed on 2026-09-22 and sits above it.
Why prices differGPT-5.6 Sol prices differ because providers surface different configs: OpenAI lists the base config at a windowed promo/lead-in rate through 2026-11-21, while routers like Cursor expose the pricier xHigh config. The calculator compares each provider at its own listed rate, so a low per-plan figure can reflect a base-config promo rather than the xHigh config a router actually serves.

Markers: ~ proxy estimate, ≈ coarse estimate, and ≥ cache floor. A floor means the plan publishes no cached-read rate, so cached tokens bill at the input rate and the real figure is this or higher. Borrowed cap means the budget is a published API cap at list price, so Req / $1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

Common questions
How many requests per $1 do I get on GPT-5.6 Sol?
The best plan pricing GPT-5.6 Sol delivers 76 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on Cursor Ultra. Figures are exact confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.
What's the cheapest plan with GPT-5.6 Sol?
CommandCode GOAT at $10/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.
Which plans include GPT-5.6 Sol?
24 tracked plans across 8 providers price it: CommandCode (GOAT, Max 10×, Max 20×, Pro and Provider), Cursor (Pro, Pro+ and Ultra), LLM Gateway DevPass (Lite, Pro and Max), Nous Portal (Plus, Super and Ultra), OpenAI (Plus, Pro 5x and Pro 20x), ZenMux (Builder Starter, Builder Max and Builder Ultra), GitHub Copilot (Pro+ and Max) and Ozore (Basic and Pro). The calculator compares every tracked monthly plan that prices it.
Where does GPT-5.6 Sol rank on the Agent Arena leaderboard?
#7 (xHigh config) on the Agent Arena agent leaderboard — 7.1% net improvement (board fetched 2026-09-21). Ranks are scraped from https://arena.ai/leaderboard/agent, never typed by hand.
What is GPT-5.6 Sol?
GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s GPT-5.6-line flagship text generation model for agentic coding and reasoning (family: openai, kind: text) — the successor to GPT-5.5 and the model that led OpenAI’s own higher subscription tiers until the GPT-6 generation (Astra, Sol and Luna) landed on 2026-09-22.
How does GPT-5.6 Sol compare to GPT-5.5?
GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s newer flagship and the successor to GPT-5.5. GPT-5.5 remains the core model on OpenAI’s own entry tier, while Sol leads the higher tiers and is widely served by BYOK routers.
Is GPT-5.6 Sol open-weight?
No — GPT-5.6 Sol is a proprietary OpenAI model (family: openai, kind: text). Unlike open-weight models such as GLM-5.3, it is only available through provider endpoints; you cannot self-host it or access the model weights.
Can I use GPT-5.6 Sol with any agent (BYOK)?
Yes — OpenAI’s own plans and several third-party routers expose GPT-5.6 Sol through OpenAI-compatible endpoints usable by any agent. Some plans are IDE-locked, but there are plenty of open BYOK options with no CLI lock.
What is GPT-5.6 Sol best used for?
GPT-5.6 Sol is best for complex multi-step agent workflows and frontier reasoning — a quality-focused pick rather than a budget-throughput model like DeepSeek V4 Flash.
