    TLDR

    OpenAI posted a temporary reduction in GPT-5.6 Sol API and Work/Codex credit pricing by more than 20 percent for three months. The new rates are listed as $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens. Pro, Plus, and Business subscription usage stays at prior levels. OpenAI president Greg Brockman stated the goal is the lowest market price combined with highest capability ceiling. Engineer Sherwin Wu noted the resulting price makes the model the cheapest frontier offering and contrasted it with GPT-4's 2023 rates of $30/$60 per million tokens for 8k context.

      Incredibly, OpenAI has this efficiency card to play at this phase. And they will continue to use it and drive down costs while improving capabilities. Almost feels unfair, but they invested early in this, both across infra and research. Users benefit.…
