descriptionOverview

Overview

GPT-6 Sol is a general-purpose model in the official OpenAI model catalog, with model ID gpt-6-sol. It should be evaluated for text understanding, generation, coding assistance, structured processing and multimodal product capabilities rather than single-purpose image generation, transcription or TTS.

Best for

Use GPT-6 Sol as a core candidate for assistants, complex Q&A, coding, long-form analysis, workflow automation and vision-enabled applications. Before production, compare context length, pricing, latency, tool support and real output quality.

Official pricing and availability

GPT-6 Sol launched on September 22, 2026 with API model ID gpt-6-sol. Standard pricing is $2 per million input tokens, $0.20 per million cached input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. OpenAI describes these as long-term prices rather than a limited promotion.

lightbulbUse cases
