Scope reduced deliberately. This started as a full Astra registration (#3377). While it was open, the fleet's own agents landed Astra on main via #3386 and its siblings, so everything that overlapped is dropped and #3377 is closed. What remains is the part main still lacks.

1. The pricing was stale, and it feeds routing. All three GPT-5.6 entries carried 2026-07-10 figures the vendor no longer publishes:

model registry said vendor says today
gpt-5.6-sol 5.00 / 30.00 4.00 / 20.00
gpt-5.6-terra 2.50 / 15.00 2.00 / 12.00
gpt-5.6-luna 1.00 / 6.00 0.20 / 1.20

Luna was overstated fivefold. These numbers are not decorative: cost-per-success routing reads them, so a cheap seat priced as a mid seat gets systematically under-selected. Source: the vendor pricing page, checked 2026-09-04 and added as a dated source id.

2. Astra needs codex-cli ≥ 0.153.2, now recorded in the model's notes. Version 0.151.0 rejects it with a 400 naming the CLI version, and the failure is invisible from the API side because /v1/models lists the model either way. This was hit live: the owner's Codex config already defaulted to Astra while the installed CLI could not run it, so every codex call without an explicit model was failing until the CLI was upgraded. Anyone reading the registry to decide whether they can use this model needs that line.

Root and consumer-template copies are byte-identical after the change. Tests: 608 passed across the model, registry and agent suites.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Refreshed OpenAI model pricing information with a September 4, 2026 effective date and updated source references.
    • Reduced listed pricing for gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-terra, and gpt-5.6-luna.
    • Added compatibility guidance for gpt-6-astra, including its minimum required codex-cli version and behavior when using older clients.

…-version constraint

All three GPT-5.6 entries carried July figures the vendor no longer publishes: sol was
5.00/30.00 against a current 4.00/20.00, terra 2.50/15.00 against 2.00/12.00, luna
1.00/6.00 against 0.20/1.20. A registry that describes itself as evidence-based should not
hold numbers that contradict its own cited source, and these figures feed cost-per-success
routing, so a 5x error on luna is not cosmetic.

Also records the operational fact that Astra needs codex-cli >= 0.153.2. Version 0.151.0
rejects it with a 400 naming the CLI version, and that failure is invisible from the API
side because /v1/models lists the model either way. This was hit live on 2026-09-04.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The model registry files now use September 4, 2026 OpenAI pricing metadata. They document gpt-6-astra compatibility with codex-cli >= 0.153.2 and update pricing for three gpt-5.6 models.

This refresh lowers GPT-5.6 pricing and adds Astra compatibility metadata. GPT-5.6 Sol's promotional rate needs an expiry or scheduled pricing refresh to avoid consumers reporting an outdated rate after the promotion ends.

🟡 Changes recommended

Several updated GPT‑5.6 entries still cite the superseded openai-pricing-2026-07-10 source alongside the new pricing source, making the registry’s evidence ambiguous for the current pricing facts.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Updates the OpenAI model registry (and its consumer template copy) to reflect current vendor pricing and to document a Codex CLI minimum-version constraint for Astra, so routing and operator decisions are based on up-to-date, auditable facts.

Changes:

  • Added a dated OpenAI pricing source (openai-pricing-2026-09-04) and cited it for Astra and GPT‑5.6 variants.
  • Refreshed GPT‑5.6 (sol/terra/luna) pricing numbers and their pricing.as_of dates to 2026-09-04.
  • Extended the gpt-6-astra notes to record the codex-cli >= 0.153.2 constraint and failure mode.
File summaries
File Description
config/model_registry.json Adds a new dated OpenAI pricing source, updates GPT‑5.6 pricing figures, and records Astra’s codex-cli version constraint.
templates/consumer-repo/config/model_registry.json Mirrors the root registry changes to keep the consumer template in sync.

site:developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.6-sol promotional pricing November 21 2026

💡 Result:

As of September 5, 2026, promotional pricing for the GPT-5.6 Sol model via the OpenAI API is scheduled to be available at least through November 21, 2026 [1]. This promotion includes a 20% reduction in input token costs, setting the price at $4 per million tokens, and a 33% reduction in output token costs, setting the price at $20 per million tokens [1]. There are no other major industry-wide promotional events specifically tied to this date, as Black Friday in 2026 falls on November 27.

Record the GPT-5.6 Sol promotion expiry.

The $4/$20 rate is promotional through at least November 21, 2026. Both registry copies record only pricing.as_of; the freshness workflow checks model IDs, not pricing. After the promotion ends, consumers can report stale rates. Add promotion expiry metadata or a pricing-specific refresh before that date.
