Production choice

Pick a default model. Keep fallback enabled.

TrustedRouter is useful when you know the model you want, but still need provider rollover, budget limits, usage records, and a prompt path you can verify.

Questions

Which should I use, OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano or OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Sol?

Is OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano or OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Sol cheaper?

The current cheapest TrustedRouter route is $0.47475/1M for OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano and $25.32/1M for OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Sol. The comparison uses current catalog prices and updates as provider pricing changes.

Is OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano or OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Sol faster?

Current measured p50 time to first token is not enough data for OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano and not enough data for OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Sol. These are routed probe measurements, not vendor-advertised speeds, and update as new samples arrive.

Can I test OpenAI: GPT-5 Nano and OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Sol with the same API?

Yes. Use the same OpenAI-compatible TrustedRouter base URL and API key, then change only the model id between openai/gpt-5-nano and openai/gpt-5.6-sol. This makes side-by-side evals possible without maintaining two provider integrations.
