OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence research organization headquartered in San Francisco, structured as both a for-profit public benefit corporation and a nonprofit foundation. The lab developed the GPT family of large language models, the DALL-E image generation…
Explore 22 more models by OpenAI →GPT-5.6 Sol is the top tier of OpenAI's GPT-5.6 generation, launched alongside siblings [[sibling:openai-gpt-56-terra|GPT-5.6 Terra]] and [[sibling:openai-gpt-56-luna|GPT-5.6 Luna]] on July 9, 2026. Where Terra is the balanced everyday model and Luna the fast, low-cost option, Sol is tuned for maximum intelligence: complex reasoning, extended coding sessions, and agentic workflows that can run for hours. A higher-quality [[sibling:openai-gpt-56-sol-pro|GPT-5.6 Sol Pro]] variant targets the most demanding tasks.
Two generation-level features distinguish the 5.6 line from predecessors. OpenAI introduced a new max reasoning effort setting that gives Sol more time to reason deeply, plus an ultra mode that leverages subagents to accelerate complex work beyond a single agent. It accepts up to one million tokens of context and adds vision, function calling, and web search.
Against its own family predecessor [[sibling:openai-gpt-55|GPT-5.5]], OpenAI positions Sol for stronger command-line and multi-step coding plus longer-horizon problem solving. OpenAI also states GPT-5.6 Sol's cyber safeguards block roughly ten times more potentially harmful activity than earlier models.
Sol is available across ChatGPT, Codex, and the OpenAI API, with the plain gpt-5.6 alias routing to Sol.

"Best price" and the seller table are live AntSeed catalog data (advertised $/1M tokens — or $ per generated image for unit-billed image models — not settled amounts). Reputation = on-chain trust (0-100). "Routing" = the SDK's default buyer routing (what the VPR desktop app ships with): a trust ≥ 60 gate on the effective reputation, then cheapest-first among routable sellers; live failover state (per-peer cooldowns) is buyer-side runtime and not included. Model knowledge (TLDR, provider, About) via the VeniceStats enrichment layer. Advertised catalog, not the model used in any specific purchase. "Usage on AntSeed" counts only settlements whose buyers share the per-model split on-chain (metadata v2/v3, opt-in), so every usage figure is a lower bound.
