by OpenAI
GPT-6 Sol (Reasoning) is a reasoning model from OpenAI, released on September 22, 2026. It has a 1.1M-token context window and can generate up to 128K output tokens. API pricing is $2 per 1M input tokens and $10 per 1M output tokens. It ranks #22 of 220 models by Intelligence Score with a score of 48.3.
GPT-6 Sol is OpenAI's GPT-6 model for complex coding and agentic workflows. It supports text and image input with text output, a 1,050,000-token context window (maximum input 922,000 tokens), and 128,000 output tokens. Reasoning effort supports none, low, medium (API default), high, xhigh, and max. Responses API supports reasoning with function calling and built-in tools; Chat Completions function calling requires reasoning effort none. Standard per-million-token pricing is $2 input, $0.2 cached input, $2.5 cache writes, and $10 output. Prompts above 272K input tokens cost 2x input/cache and 1.5x output across the full request. Batch and Flex cost 50% of Standard; Fast costs 2x applicable rates. Regional processing adds 10% where available. Launch benchmarks are OpenAI-reported; effort, cost per task, and evaluation variants are recorded with each score.
