GPT-5.6 Sol: 94x the Jev bill
Sol is usually chosen for accuracy rather than price, which makes it the clearest case for splitting a pipeline: Jev for the volume, Sol for the fraction that genuinely needs it.

62x the Jev bill
Monthly, 30 days. Both sides answer all questions for an item in a single call. GPT-5.6 Sol additionally pays for its output tokens at $20/M; Jev 1.13 has no output charge. Jev 1.13’s figures include the ~260 tokens every request is measured to bill; the GPT-5.6 Sol figures count your content only, with no system prompt or schema, so they are a floor. List prices at standard tier, excluding caching and batch discounts. Comparison rates checked 2026-10-17; verify current vendor prices before budgeting.
Where GPT-5.6 Sol still wins
Sol handles the long tail — the inputs that do not resemble anything in your label set. Routing everything to Jev and escalating the low-confidence remainder to Sol usually beats either model alone.
The honest caveat
This compares price, not accuracy. A model that is 100x cheaper and wrong 5% more often can easily be the more expensive choice once you price the mistakes. Jev returns a calibrated probability with every answer, so the practical move is to route the confident cases automatically and send the rest to GPT-5.6 Sol or a human — which makes this a routing decision rather than a replacement decision.
