OpenAIChatToolsVision-96% vs official rates

Pay-as-you-go rate

$0.1838 / 1M tokens

-96% vs official list pricing. Billed in USD, metered per request with real-time cost in the console.

Access

One OpenLux key and the OpenAI-compatible endpoint: set base_url to https://openlux.lol/v1 and pass gpt-5.6-sol as the model.

Get started

Create a key in the console, then follow the five-minute docs for streaming, tools and error codes.

What GPT-5.6 Sol delivers

Sol balances quality, speed and cost for high-volume production traffic: support assistants, summarisation pipelines, classification at scale and customer chat — workloads that need reliability rather than the deepest reasoning.

It is the natural companion to gpt-6-astra. Route complex, low-volume requests to the flagship and everything else to Sol, with both models on one key, one bill and one set of usage logs. Switching between them is a one-word change to the model field.

Like the rest of the catalogue, Sol is metered pay as you go with per-request cost visible in the console. You can start on a small top-up and scale traffic without renegotiating anything.
