GPT-5.6 Sol (batch)

OpenAI · Multimodal · Released Jul 2026

Compare

OpenAI's flagship reasoning model in the GPT-5.6 series, available in batch mode with a 1.05M token context window.

Strengths
Handles complex reasoning tasks with high accuracy across long documents and multi-step problems.
Best for
Batch processing of reasoning-heavy workloads where latency is not a constraint but response quality on difficult tasks matters.
Limitations
Batch-only availability means responses are asynchronous and not suitable for real-time applications; the Pro variant (GPT-5.6 Sol Pro) offers higher reasoning capability if maximum accuracy is needed.
