Introduction

Complete guide to using GPT-5.6 API for Sol, Terra, and Luna

GPT-5.6 API for Sol, Terra, and Luna

GPT-5.6 is OpenAI's three-tier model family released on July 9, 2026. Choose Sol for frontier coding and complex agents, Terra for balanced production work, or Luna for fast, cost-sensitive traffic.

Available GPT-5.6 API models on PoYo

01

GPT-5.6 Luna

Use gpt-5-6-luna for high-volume extraction, classification, support automation, and responsive assistants. PoYo pricing starts at $0.056 input and $0.336 output per 1M tokens.
02

GPT-5.6 Terra

Use gpt-5-6-terra as the balanced default for coding assistance, document analysis, research support, and internal copilots at $0.56 input and $3.36 output per 1M tokens.
03

GPT-5.6 Sol

Use gpt-5-6-sol for the hardest coding, long-horizon agents, design, cybersecurity, science, and professional knowledge work at $1.40 input and $8.40 output per 1M tokens.

Key features of GPT-5.6 API

The GPT-5.6 family combines stronger work per token with durable capability tiers, so applications can match model intelligence to request value instead of using one price point for every task.

01

Sol for frontier coding and long-running agents

GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship tier for repository-scale engineering, terminal workflows, complex planning, and high-value tasks that need persistence and validation.

  • Strongest GPT-5.6 tier
  • Advanced coding and agent workflows
  • Reasoning effort from low to xhigh on PoYo

02

Terra for balanced everyday production

GPT-5.6 Terra targets the middle of the quality-cost curve. It fits product features that need dependable reasoning without paying Sol rates for every request.

  • Coding and business analysis
  • Document review and research support
  • Balanced latency, intelligence, and cost

03

Luna for speed and affordable scale

GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and lowest-cost tier. Use it where throughput and unit economics matter: classification, extraction, content processing, and lightweight automation.

  • Fast high-volume execution
  • $0.056 per 1M input tokens on PoYo
  • Practical default for repeatable lightweight tasks

04

Responses API for tools and agent state

PoYo exposes GPT-5.6 through /v1/responses. Send instructions and structured input, enable function calling or web search, and receive standard response items with usage data.

  • Function calling and web search
  • Streaming Responses API output
  • Image and file input support

05

Stronger professional knowledge work

GPT-5.6 improves end-to-end work on documents, presentations, spreadsheets, research briefs, and editable artifacts, with better adherence to source material and visual structure.

  • Presentations and editable documents
  • Financial and research analysis
  • Better template and reference-file fidelity

Best GPT-5.6 API use cases

01

Coding agents

Plan, implement, test, and validate changes across repositories and terminal environments.

02

Tool-using agents

Coordinate functions, search, files, and intermediate results through the Responses API.

03

Design and frontend work

Generate and refine interfaces, visual explanations, prototypes, and polished artifacts.

04

Knowledge work

Turn mixed source material into structured documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and reports.

05

Defensive security

Support authorized secure code review, threat modeling, vulnerability triage, and patch validation.

06

Tiered production routing

Route hard requests to Sol, everyday work to Terra, and cost-sensitive volume to Luna.

GPT-5.6 Sol vs Terra vs Luna

The main GPT-5.6 difference is the balance among capability, speed, and price. Start with Luna for volume, Terra for balanced production, and Sol when task success is worth the flagship tier.
