GPT 5.6 Sol Disc
Kimi K3GPT-5.6 Sol (limited-time 50% off) is OpenAI’s frontier reasoning model for complex coding, professional knowledge work, deep research, and long-running agents. It supports a roughly 1.05M-token context window, image understanding, and extensive tool use. Compared with Terra and Luna, Sol prioritizes capability and reliability on demanding tasks.
Kimi K3 is Kimi’s flagship model for long-horizon coding and end-to-end knowledge work, with a 1M-token context window and industry-leading intelligence.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
Estimate your monthly bill for the same workload on each model.
Monthly = daily × 30. Discounted rates applied where a promotion is active.
