OpenAI Slashes GPT-5.6 Prices; Qwen Adds New Model

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has significantly reduced prices for its GPT-5.6 series, with Terra and Terra Pro models seeing prompt and completion costs slashed by approximately 40-50%. The company also removed the GPT-5 Chat and GPT-4o Search Preview models, requiring users to migrate. Other providers like Qwen introduced a new model, Qwen3.7 Flash, offering a 1M token context window at a competitive price, while Z.ai's GLM 5.2 saw minor price reductions. Conversely, NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra and Google's Gemma 4 26B A4B experienced price increases. AI

IMPACT Price adjustments by major providers like OpenAI and Qwen could influence adoption rates and cost-effectiveness for AI workloads.
