GPT-5.6 Sol is the OpenAI 5.6 flagship tier: official API $5/$30 per million after the Jul 30 2026 price note left Sol unchanged. On CompareLLM it is the current GPT leader by preference Elo, which is why the Claude vs GPT hub remaps here. That remapping is the product — we do not freeze a 2025 article.
Sol is not Terra and not Luna
Terra is the $2/$12 mid. Luna is the $0.20/$1.20 fast SKU. Search “gpt-5.6” is ambiguous. We keep three slugs so price and Elo do not collapse into one ChatGPT brand page.
Empirical Evaluation & Architectural Analysis
Empirical evaluations recorded across the CompareLLM Leaderboard highlight how parameter scaling and inference optimization impact production throughput and cost-per-token economics. Reference the interactive scorecard above for verified snapshots or inspect the dedicated gpt-5-6-sol dossier.
Coding vs taste
If you are buying a repo agent, read SWE-bench on Sol vs Opus 5 vs Fable 5. If you are buying a general assistant, Elo is the shortlist, then price.
