How GPT-6 Sol compares on rate
GPT-6 Sol runs $2 input / $10 output per MTok — a combined $12 for 1M tokens each way. The cheapest active model in our table, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite at $0.1/$0.4 (combined $0.5), is about 96% cheaper on combined rate (verified 2026-10-26).
Cheapest active OpenAI alternative: GPT-6 Luna at $0.1/$0.5 per MTok — combined $0.6 against $12, about 95% less.
Per-token rate is not per-task cost — tokenizers differ between model families, so benchmark with your own payloads before switching.
What real volumes cost at GPT-6 Sol rates
Straight rate-card math at the verified $2/$10 per-MTok prices, assuming a 75% input / 25% output token split — no caching or batch discounts applied.
| Volume | Split | Cost at GPT-6 Sol rates |
|---|---|---|
| 100K tokens in a day | 75,000 in + 25,000 out | $0.4000 |
| That pace over a 30-day month (3M tokens) | 2.25M in + 750K out | $12.00 |
| 1M tokens in a month | 750,000 in + 250,000 out | $4.00 |
| Heavy month — 12M tokens | 9M in + 3M out | $48.00 |
