OpenAI has released its GPT-5.6 model family, featuring three variants including the flagship Sol model. Despite a politically charged rollout involving government vetting, the model offers a substantial 1.05 million token context window. A key feature is prompt caching, which can significantly reduce costs for repeated context, though it requires careful usage to avoid increased expenses. The new model also includes ChatGPT Work, an agent designed to interact with user files. AI
