## FAQ

**How much does the GPT-5.5 API cost?**

Officially $5 per 1M input tokens and $30 per 1M output tokens — the same as GPT-5.6 Sol. With the apiToken.sale discount that starts at $2/$12 and reaches $1.50/$9.

**GPT-5.5 or GPT-5.6 Sol?**

They cost the same, so new projects should default to gpt-5.6-sol. Keep 5.5 when you have prompts or evals pinned to it.

**What is the model ID?**

gpt-5.5 — use it as-is on the OpenAI-compatible endpoint at https://openai.api.apitoken.sale/v1.
