The provider of GPT-5.6 Sol has raised its prices. Input now costs $4 per million tokens, up from $2, while output costs $20, up from $10. Both rates have increased by 100% - and output is the bigger part of many bills.

Price per million tokens Previous Current Change
Input $2.00 $4.00 +100%
Output $10.00 $20.00 +100%
Rates from the public OpenRouter API, checked on October 15, 2026.

Output often accounts for more of the bill because a model’s response is usually longer than the prompt. When comparing providers, I look at the output price first, rather than the input price.

For comparison, the cheapest models I currently track are Qwen 3.7 Flash at $0.13 per million output tokens and DeepSeek V4 Flash at $0.64.

I update a full comparison of rates for all the models I track, with costs calculated for real-world tasks, every day in the AI cost calculator. The rates come from the public OpenRouter API and may differ from promotions offered directly by providers.
