GoKawiilOpenAI cuts price of GPT-5.6-Sol model through November 21
OpenAI is temporarily lowering the price of its GPT-5.6-Sol model, with the discount running until at least November 21. Separately, the company is phasing out its fine-tuning platform, closing it to new users while letting existing customers keep submitting training jobs for a limited time. Models already fine-tuned will still work for inference until their underlying base models are retired.
