| What the discount gives you | Temporary price cut on the GPT-5.6 Sol API: $4.00 per 1M input tokens and $20.00 per 1M output tokens at short context, down from $5.00/$30.00 — a 20% cut on input and ~33% on output. Long context is $8.00/$30.00. OpenAI's developer pricing page states the reduction is "available at least through November 21, 2026". Announced 2026-08-21; the company cited competition from Anthropic and Chinese labs. |

| Caveats | EXPIRES: promotional, guaranteed only "at least through November 21, 2026" — OpenAI has not said what rate follows, so treat it as a planning window, not a permanent reset, and re-check this row in November. Applies to paid API usage: it lowers a bill, it does not create a free tier, and it needs a funded OpenAI account like any other paid call (OpenAI's separate free paths are afr-0006 and afn-0002). Short-context rates apply below the context threshold; longer requests bill at the long-context rate. Third-party coverage disagreed on the output figure ($20 vs $24) — $20.00 is what OpenAI's own pricing page states and is what this row carries. Rolling out across eligible ChatGPT Work and Codex credit plans too; Pro, Plus and Business subscription pricing is unchanged. |
No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing
