Where is the official source for this? OpenAI's docs still show non-discounted pricing https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.6-sol
It's discounted if used via OpenRouter, not the official API.

#202After using Claude for a long time, I tested Sol 5.6 for the first time today. Love it, its an incredibly capable model and uses far fewer tokens/time thinking. Its what I imagine Fable would be if I haven't been downgraded on every conversation - even after completing the verification program. I think I may cancel my Claude subscription finally.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the GPT models are much stricter in adhering to my AGENTS.md guidelines and heuristics than Claude.

#203Is this pricing change only for openrouter? I don't see official OpenAI info about this.
I was wondering the same, and it clearly says : 50% off, aka a sale, not normal price cut.
I don't get this thread.... Really. Is it full of bots?
Re: GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on OpenRouter
#204The title looks to be misleading, since this price cut is limited to OpenRouter. It does not apply for the native OpenAI price listed at https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.6-sol
OpenRouter and the Vercel AI Gateway.
So yes, presumably a very small share of their total traffic.

#205Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because API pricing is for corporations and subscriptions are for consumers.
Are we supposed to just shrug at the idea of businesses paying 10x more for raw materials than consumers? How long can this go on?
Hopefully for a long time this is like the beginnings of a vac startup, enjoy while you can before the enshitification comes

#206I have switched to Chagpt sub now after only using Claude for coding. You get more value for your money and feels like codex has reached Claude code performance in coding (the reason for using Claude) regular plus account allows you to have access to their most powerful model, image generation and asking questions is better because you can use sol but in instant mode and it feels smarter and faster. And finally codex…
I switched as I felt Codex was on a par with Opus, but the chat responses from Sol are just more intelligible than the word soup I've been getting from Opus. I wonder if Opus could be prompted to respond in simpler prose via agents.md

I think Fable's dominance is overstated. It definitely has the lead, but quantifying what that lead actually is is really hard. I'm using GPT 5.6 Sol to do some shit that I personally would consider "crazy" - low level undocumented hardware driver alchemy, reverse engineering highly obfuscated code, even a bit of screwing around with a rendering engine in Vulkan, really just about the most complex tasks I can get any…
AI-pilled obsession with "taste" is bordering on insanity It's just vibes
It's vibes all the way down.
It's... really just vibes?
Always has been.

I used Sol to extract the remaining decryption keys from the Super Mario Maker 2 (Switch) game files. Someone had previously extracted all the keys from the original release, but not any of the new ones from updates. Not only did it succeed, but it helped me understand the data sufficiently to add support for “Super World” rendering to my level viewer (which I made back in 2021), eg the little widget at the top of ht…
I was having it look at creating a driver for some old scanner and it actively looked up exactly where that gray area for my country was wrt decompilation.

FYI I run it consistently in xhigh regardless of difficulty of the task at hand. I remember high being very fast, but I'd rather wait a bit more and get better output. AIs are insanely fast compared to me anyway, even on xhigh. Consumes more usage, but even at 100 EUR/m I don't hit limits.
How do you handle context limits? With more thinking tokens you fill it up earlier. Compaction degrades performance too. What's your strategy?
