GPT-5.6 Sol

GPT-5.6 Sol is a flagship reasoning and coding model from OpenAI. Call gpt-5.6-sol through both the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API and the Responses API.

Key capabilities

OpenAI-compatible - Works with the OpenAI SDK by changing base_url
Streaming - Real-time token output through SSE
Multi-turn conversations - Uses role-based messages
Responses API - Uses input for text and structured content
Reasoning control - Configure reasoning effort on supported models
Tool use - Supports function and hosted tool definitions
Max reasoning - Supports none, low, medium, high, xhigh, and max effort
Pro mode - Use reasoning.mode in the Responses API for quality-first work
