About OpenAI API

OpenAI's API platform provides developers and enterprises with access to frontier AI models, including GPT-5.6 variants (Sol, Terra, Luna) and GPT-5.5 Instant. These models deliver advanced intelligence, multimodal capabilities, and real-world utility with context lengths up to 1.05M tokens and knowledge cut-off in February 2026. The platform supports building AI agents using the Agents SDK and Responses API, voice interactions via the Realtime API, and grounding through built-in tools such as web search, file search, and remote MCP servers. Enterprise-grade features include data privacy (no training on customer data, zero data retention, HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 Type 2), role-based access controls, single sign-on, and data encryption. Use cases span coding, customer support, personalized recommendations, research data analysis, content generation, and education. Pricing is pay-as-you-go based on tokens consumed.
