GPT-5.6 Sol (batch) 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.

What is GPT-5.6 Sol (batch) good for?

The id for GPT-5.6 Sol (batch) in our API is "openai/gpt-5.6-sol:batch", served from OpenAI. Context is 1,050,000 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 128,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "mid-range" band — cheaper than 53 and dearer than 319 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What it can do beyond plain text: 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.

Pricing is 692,439 toman per 1M input tokens and 3,462,194 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on GPT-5.6 Sol (batch) lands near 5,401 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 69,244 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 Opus 5.5 (batch), and GPT-5.6 Sol (batch) costs about the same, 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 19 thousand-word requests on GPT-5.6 Sol (batch), and every 1,000 toman is about 185 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 4,154,632 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,050,000-token window costs 727,061 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", because the underlying model is the same. The difference is the suffix: "batch" against the standard variant. On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 2× cheaper (5,401 against 10,802 toman). On parameters the other takes max_completion_tokens.

OpenAI has 81 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is gpt-oss-120b at 52 toman per thousand words and the dearest GPT-5.5 Pro at 94,518. Among the less common parameters it accepts reasoning_effort, verbosity — 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-Pro at 1,050,000 tokens.

Good fits: 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.

Provider's own description
