Open AI has announced a promotional price reduction for its gpt-5.6-sol model, effective until at least November 21, 2026. The standard pricing for this model includes $4.00 per million tokens for short context input and $20.00 for output. Cached input is charged at $0.40, with cache writes at $5.00. For long contexts, input costs $8.00, while output rises to $30.00.

Other models in the Cyber lineup include gpt-5.6-cyber, priced significantly higher at $12.50 for input and $75.00 for output. Aliases such as daybreak-blue-latest and daybreak-red-latest currently point to gpt-5.6-sol and gpt-5.6-cyber respectively. These aliases will update automatically as new frontier models are released through the Daybreak program.

Regional processing endpoints incur a 10% uplift for eligible data residency models. Priority processing was renamed Fast mode on July 30, 2026. Open AI models available via Amazon Bedrock are billed through AWS and may differ from direct Open AI pricing structures.
