GPT-5.6 Sol example: reading an image into JSON
The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.
# tip: a data URI works too — base64 the file and prefix it with data:image/jpeg;base64,

GPT-5.6 Sol comes from OpenAI; in uttapen you reach it with the model id "openai/gpt-5.6-sol". It accepts up to 1,050,000 tokens of input per call, so a long document or several source files fit in a single request. A single response can run to 128,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "mid-range" band — cheaper than 322 and dearer than 84 of the other paid models in the catalogue.
What you get on top of text in, text out: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; it takes files such as PDFs as input; it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.
Input runs at 580,250 toman per 1M tokens and output at 2,901,250 — output costs 5× input, so trimming the answer saves more than trimming the prompt. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 58,025 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.
The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Claude Sonnet 5: GPT-5.6 Sol works out roughly 1× more expensive, and its context window is larger. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.
To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 22 thousand-word requests on GPT-5.6 Sol, and every 1,000 toman is about 221 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 3,481,500 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,050,000-token window costs 609,263 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.
This id gets confused with "openai/gpt-5.6-sol:batch", because the underlying model is the same. The difference is the suffix: no suffix (the standard variant) against "batch". On a thousand-word request this variant works out 2× dearer (4,526 against 2,263 toman). On parameters, this one takes max_completion_tokens.
OpenAI has 95 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is gpt-oss-20b at 60 toman per thousand words and the dearest o1-pro at 282,872. Among the less common parameters it accepts max_completion_tokens, reasoning_effort — all through the standard request body. It does not support temperature, top_p, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is MiMo-V2.5 at 1,050,000 tokens.
Where it makes sense: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model in OpenAI's GPT-5.6 series. It is suited for complex reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows, and is particularly strong at command-line and multi-step coding tasks...

Frequently asked
- How do I call GPT-5.6 Sol from Iran?
- Sign up with your mobile number, top the wallet up in toman, create an API key, then in the official OpenAI SDK point base_url at https://api.uttapen.ir/v1 and set model to "openai/gpt-5.6-sol". Nothing else in your code changes.
- What does GPT-5.6 Sol cost in toman?
- 580,250 toman per 1M input tokens and 2,901,250 toman per 1M output tokens; a 1,000-word request is around 4,526 toman. You pay for the usage that request actually reported, and a failed request costs nothing.
- How much input does GPT-5.6 Sol take?
- Up to 1,050,000 tokens per request, roughly 788k words. A single answer can reach 128,000 tokens.
- Does GPT-5.6 Sol support streaming and tool calling?
- Streaming (stream=true) works on every model here. This one supports tool calling in the standard OpenAI shape. Image input is accepted through image_url, as a data URI or a public URL. Structured output through response_format works too.
