Amazon Bedrock cuts GPT-5.6 Sol pricing 20–33% for agent workloads

Agentic model pricing is in freefall, and the operators who moved early on multi-step automation workflows are about to look very smart. OpenAI cut GPT-4.5 Sol API prices 20–33%, input tokens now at $4 per million and output at $20, and Amazon Bedrock is passing every dollar through to AWS customers at least through November 21. This follows earlier cuts to the Terra and Luna tiers, so the pattern is clear: the cost curve on autonomous coding agents and multi-step pipelines is dropping fast, and any budget case built on last quarter's numbers needs a refresh.
Full analysis
OpenAI has lowered API prices for GPT-5.6 Sol, its flagship agentic model, and Amazon Bedrock is passing those cuts through to AWS customers. Input tokens now cost $4 per million (down 20%) and output tokens $20 per million (down ~33%), with promotional pricing guaranteed at least through November 21, 2026. The reductions follow earlier cuts to the Terra and Luna model tiers. AWS highlights autonomous coding agents, multi-step analysis pipelines, and research workflows as primary use cases. It also notes that GPT-5.6 Sol leads on agentic coding benchmarks, which measure how well an AI can plan and execute sequences of code-writing steps.
