OpenLuxOpenAI models API
OpenLux serves the OpenAI line-up — GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Sol and the gpt-image-2-c image model — through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, at rates between 93% and 96% below official list pricing.
Calling OpenAI models on OpenLux
OpenAI models set the baseline most applications are written against: chat completions, tool calling, vision input and structured output all follow the same protocol. GPT-6 Astra is the flagship for hard reasoning and agent work, GPT-5.6 Sol is the value tier for high-volume traffic, and gpt-image-2-c covers image generation and editing.
Because the protocol is the same one OpenLux speaks, migrating is a two-field change — the base URL and the key. Existing SDKs keep working, and switching between the OpenAI models and everything else in the catalogue stays a one-line edit of the model name.
On OpenLux the three models are metered pay as you go: $0.3677 per million tokens for GPT-6 Astra, $0.1838 for GPT-5.6 Sol and $0.00882 per request for gpt-image-2-c. Every call is priced in USD and visible in the console, with no subscription required for API access.
Why teams call OpenAI on OpenLux
Flagship reasoning
GPT-6 Astra handles multi-step problems, planning and agent loops where answer quality decides the outcome.
Value tier
GPT-5.6 Sol balances quality, speed and cost for the high-volume traffic that makes up most production usage.
Tools and vision
Function calling and image input run on the same endpoint, which is what agent frameworks expect.
Image generation
gpt-image-2-c adds generation, editing and reference images, so visual pipelines need no second vendor.
