Episode Details

OpenAI just cut GPT-5.6 Sol. Same flagship. Cheaper card. And they hung a clock on it.

The card is $4 in and $20 out per million tokens through at least November 21. That is 20 percent cheaper on the way in and 33 percent cheaper on the way out. Cached input is 40 cents. Old card was $5 in and $30 out. It applies to the API and is rolling out across eligible ChatGPT Work and Codex credit plans.

ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business subscriptions did not move. Tokens and credits got the knife. The monthly seat you already pay did not. Do not bake three months into a bid. After November 21 they have not said.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did my ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Business seat get cheaper?
No. Plus did not move. Pro did not move. Business did not move. The sale is on the API bill and on eligible Work and Codex credit plans. If Plus is all you have, you got a headline and the same login.

What is the new Sol card, and how long does it last?
Four dollars in and twenty dollars out per million tokens, at least through November 21. Cached input is 40 cents. They said over 20 percent off for the next three months. They left the day after blank.

Do I need to switch models or rebuild a tool pointed at GPT-5.6?
No. Sol is already the flagship. The 5.6 name still routes to Sol. They did not drop a new model. They cheapened the one in the chair. Open the invoice. Do not tour the family.
