GPT 5.6 from OpenAI is now available on AI Gateway in a limited preview, across three models: Sol, Terra, and Luna. All three are stronger at agentic work across coding, biology, and cybersecurity, and are more token-efficient than the previous generation.
Sol (
openai/gpt-5.6-sol): the flagship, and the most capable of the three.Terra (
openai/gpt-5.6-terra): a balanced model for everyday work, with performance comparable to the previous generation at half the cost.Luna (
openai/gpt-5.6-luna): a fast, affordable model with strong capability at the lowest cost in the series.
To use GPT 5.6, set model to one of the above slugs in the AI SDK:
import { streamText } from 'ai';
const result = streamText({
model: 'openai/gpt-5.6-sol',
prompt: 'Investigate the failing tests and open a PR with a fix.',
});
You can also set routing rules to switch to GPT 5.6 from other gateway models without touching your code.
vercel ai-gateway rules add \
--type rewrite \
--source openai/gpt-5.5 \
--destination openai/gpt-5.6-sol
AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in custom reporting, Zero Data Retention support, budgets for API keys, routing rules, and more.
AI Gateway reflects provider pricing with no markup and does not charge a platform fee on inference, including on Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) requests.
