  1. Oct 5, 2026

    Model removed: GPT-5.6 Cyber removed

    Removed because GPT-5.6 Cyber is not sold to ordinary API accounts. OpenAI requires separate approval and provisioning through its Daybreak programme, so the per-token price we showed is not one you can pay without that approval. The model has not been retired. GPT-5.6 Sol, the model it is built on, is generally available at $4 input and $20 output per 1M tokens.
