SOURCE SUMMARY

GPT‑5.6 is now available in Kiro, helping developers plan, build, review, and test software with better price-performance.

WHY IT MATTERS

Cost changes can alter which workloads are economical to run at scale, especially for high-volume or agentic use. The meaningful signal is not the headline price alone but how the new rates interact with caching, long context, tool use, and production volume.

WHAT TO VERIFY

Check the billing unit, context thresholds, cached-input treatment, tool or service charges, regional differences, and the date the new pricing takes effect.
