Price before and after
| Per 1M tokens | Before (o3-pro-2025-06-10) | After (gpt-5.6-sol) |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $20.00 | $4.00 |
| Output | $80.00 | $20.00 |
| Cached input | not published | $0.40 |
| Blended (3 in : 1 out) | $35.00 | $8.00 (−77%) |
List prices, USD. Blended = (3 × input + 1 × output) ÷ 4 — a stated reference mix, not your workload. Prices: developers.openai.com, checked Sep 29, 2026.
Before price is the o3-pro row on OpenAI's pricing page; OpenAI's o3-pro model page lists o3-pro-2025-06-10 as its snapshot. OpenAI's pricing page lists one per-token rate for gpt-5.6-sol and no separate rate for reasoning.mode: pro; pro mode can generate many more reasoning (output) tokens. The replacement price is GPT-5.6 Sol's promotional rate, which OpenAI says is available at least through November 21, 2026. OpenAI does not publish the rate after the promotion, so the forecast keeps the promotional rate; your cost may be higher once it ends.

Methodology and limits
Prices are list prices in USD per 1M tokens from the provider's pricing page; dates and named replacements come from the provider's deprecation page, quoted above with the date we last checked. The replacement is the provider's named replacement, not our recommendation — quality and behavior can differ. Discounts, committed-use or enterprise agreements, batch and regional pricing, and Azure OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock prices are not included. Dates marked "at least through" or "not before" are shown but never applied.Full methodology →
