The new GPT 5.6 Soul model is more affordable than Fable 5, costing $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens, compared to Fable 5's $10 input and $50 output tokens. The speaker suspects OpenAI will continue to offer Soul within subscriptions, unlike Fable.
“Soul is a lot more affordable than Fable. So it's $5 per million input tokens, $30 per million output tokens. I believe Fable at the time I'm recording this is $10 on a million input tokens and $50 on a million output tokens.”
“I suspect this might put pressure on entropics to put Fable back into the cloud subscription. But for now, it's more affordable even at API pricing.”
