GPT-5.6 Sol OpenAI-compatible API access
After creating a key in the console, call this model with the unified model name gpt-5.6-sol. When package and pay-as-you-go balance are both available, package quota is used first.
- Not ideal for legacy integrations that only accept OpenAI-compatible APIs.
- Not ideal when you need dedicated SLA terms, private capacity, or a fixed-cost enterprise commitment.
This model is available through the public catalog and unified gateway pricing configuration.
The public model page is for discovery and comparison. Actual API access, key creation, and model scopes are managed after sign-in.
