Model Card
GPT Image 1 Mini is OpenAI's cost-optimized image generation model released in October 2025, offering the same capabilities as GPT Image 1 at approximately 80% lower cost. It's designed for high-throughput production use cases where cost and latency are priorities over peak image fidelity. The model trades some fine detail and photorealism for significantly reduced pricing.

GPT-5.6 Sol
GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI's flagship model in the GPT-5.6 family, sitting above Terra and Luna as the most capable and most expensive of the three. It reached general availability on July 9, 2026. Sol is built for agentic coding, cybersecurity research, and long-horizon autonomous work. OpenAI reports it sets a new state of the art on Terminal-Bench 2.1, a benchmark for command-line workflows that require planning, iteration, and tool coordination, and describes it as the most capable model yet for cybersecurity tasks such as vulnerability research. The GPT-5.6 family adds a max reasoning effort setting, an ultra mode that coordinates subagents on complex tasks, and Programmatic Tool Calling in the Responses API. Sol carries a 1.05M token context window, 128,000 max output tokens, and a February 16, 2026 knowledge cutoff, making it best suited for teams that need the highest available capability and can absorb its premium per-token cost.
ChatGPT-5.6 Sol Pro
GPT-5.6 Sol Pro is OpenAI's highest-capability configuration of GPT-5.6 Sol, the flagship tier in the GPT-5.6 family alongside the smaller Terra and Luna models. Sol is built for complex reasoning, coding, scientific work, and long-running agentic tasks. Sol Pro is not a separate, larger model. It runs the same underlying model as base Sol with reasoning mode set to pro for higher-quality responses on harder problems, which is why it shares identical pricing with the base model, $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens, unlike GPT-5.4 Pro and GPT-5.5 Pro, which cost several times more than their base models. It carries the same 1,050,000-token context window and 128,000 max output tokens as GPT-5.6 Sol, and supports image input, function calling, and the Responses API tool suite. It launched July 9, 2026, aimed at the hardest, longest-running tasks where response quality matters more than cost or latency.
ChatGPT-5.6 Terra
GPT-5.6 Terra is OpenAI's mid-tier chat model in the GPT-5.6 family, positioned between the flagship Sol and the faster, cheaper Luna. OpenAI's documentation describes it as designed for workloads that balance intelligence and cost, corresponding to the mini tier used in earlier GPT-5 families. In OpenAI's naming system, the number marks a model's generation, while Sol, Terra, and Luna mark capability tiers that can each advance on their own schedule. It has a 1,050,000 token context window, up to 128,000 output tokens, and a February 16, 2026 knowledge cutoff. Pricing is $2.50 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, between Luna's $1/$6 and Sol's $5/$30. Terra accepts text and image input, supports function calling and tool use, and is aimed at high-volume business tasks such as customer support, internal tools, and document analysis, alongside everyday interactive and agentic coding where Sol's higher reasoning ceiling isn't needed.
