from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(    api_key="YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY",    base_url="https://router.requesty.ai/v1",) response = client.chat.completions.create(    model="azure/gpt-5.6-sol@westeurope",    messages=[        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one paragraph."},    ],) print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Change the base url to https://router.requesty.ai/v1, use your Requesty key, set the model to the id above. Existing OpenAI SDK code needs no other edit, and the same key reaches every other model in the catalog. Browse all models

notes

reference

GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model in OpenAI's GPT-5.6 series. It is suited for complex reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows, and is particularly strong at command-line and multi-step coding tasks and long-horizon problem solving.
