Strengths
- Fastest, most affordable tier of the GPT-5.6 family at $1 / $6 per M tokens
- 1M-token context window, uncommon at this price point, for large documents and long sessions
- Capable agentic coding for its class: 84.7 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 62.7 on SWE-bench Pro
- Multimodal (text, image, file) input with native tool calling, web search and function calling
Limitations
- Weakest abstract reasoning of the family (ARC-AGI-2 29.3 at high effort)
- Long-context recall is modest relative to its 1M window
- Only agentic benchmarks published by OpenAI; no MMLU, GPQA or math scores for comparison
