GPT-5.6 Sol API in Australia
OpenAI’s flagship from July 2026, kept for long coding work built on it. Priced in Australian dollars for teams in Australia, on the same key as every other model.
GPT-5.6 Sol API pricing in Australia
In Australian dollars, the currency your card is charged in, with the published US dollar rate beside each.
For scale: 1,000 requests of about 3,000 tokens in and 1,000 out cost A$48.45 — a long prompt and a page of answer each. Every rate is published and stays the same from one request to the next. See every model.

About GPT-5.6 Sol
GPT-5.6 Sol led OpenAI’s line from July 2026 until GPT-6 arrived in September. OpenAI positioned it as its strongest model for coding, science and security at the time, and it still holds one of the better coding scores here: 72.7% on DeepSWE, higher than the GPT-6 Sol that replaced it.
Its reasoning runs from none to max. Reviewers found it more willing than earlier GPTs to go beyond what it was asked, which suits long agent tasks and needs watching in anything customer-facing. Newer GPT-6 models now do most of the same work for less.
What is GPT-5.6 Sol good for?
- Long coding tasks that need planning and follow-through.
- Security research.
- Products validated on GPT-5.6 that should not change model.
Where to be careful
- Can act beyond what you asked. Keep a person or a check in the loop for actions that matter.
- Slow to start at high effort: one independent measurement put the wait before the first word at over two minutes.
- Its knowledge stops in February 2026, and the GPT-6 models have overtaken it.
