OpenAI announced GPT-5.6 is now available in the Kiro coding assistant for 'better price-performance,' and OpenAI's own API docs quickstart is now titled 'Using GPT-5.6' rather than referencing gpt-5-2 — indicating 5.6 has become OpenAI's shipped flagship without a dedicated benchmark announcement appearing in this material.
OpenAI reduced GPT-5.2 input and output token prices by 40% and doubled the batch discount. The blended cost drops from about $29 to $17.5 per million tokens, moving it from the most expensive frontier option to mid-pack.
