Just saw this. OpenAI dropped GPT-5.6 Sol prices.
Input tokens now $4 per million (down 20%).
Output tokens now $20 per million (down 33%).
Good timing. Anthropic IPO must be pushing them to stay competitive. Prices guaranteed until November 21.
Honestly, this is great news. Lower costs mean more experimentation, more agentic workflows, and more people building AI apps without worrying about burning cash.
I'm curious if this will trigger other AI providers to follow suit. Gemini? Claude? DeepSeek? If they all start dropping prices, we win.
Anyone already using GPT-5.6 Sol? How does it compare to Claude or DeepSeek for coding tasks?
