Paperclip + OpenAI
Host GPT-5.6 agents on Paperclip — Sol, Terra, and Luna with 1.05M-token context, on a managed runtime from $3.99/mo.
OpenAI agent hosting, in one answer
OpenAI sells tokens and, since September 2026, cloud agents through its Agents API. Paperclip gives your GPT-5.6 agents the rest of the production stack: a supervised runtime that restarts crashed processes, persistent memory between runs, per-run monitoring, and model routing across providers. Bring your existing OpenAI API key and deploy in five minutes — one hosted bill instead of infrastructure glue code.
OpenAI agent models and prices (September 2026)
Flagship deep-reasoning tier. $5.00 in / $30.00 out per 1M tokens. For hard multi-step planning.
Balanced default at $2.00 in / $12.00 out per 1M tokens. Recommended for most production agents.
High-volume tier at $0.20 in / $1.20 out per 1M tokens. For classification, routing, and extraction at scale.
Premium reasoning escalation for problems Terra cannot close. Priced at the top of the family.
How to deploy OpenAI agents
Get your OpenAI API key
Go to platform.openai.com → API Keys → Create new secret key.
Add it to HostAgentes
Dashboard → Agent Settings → Environment Variables → Add OPENAI_API_KEY.
Select your model
Choose GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, or Luna from the model dropdown — or let model routing pick per request.
Deploy
Click deploy. Your GPT-powered agent is live with persistent memory, auto-restarts, and run-level monitoring.
OpenAI agent capabilities
Structured Outputs
Enforce JSON schemas in responses for reliable parsing.
Function Calling
Native tool use with automatic argument generation.
1.05M-token context
The full GPT-5.6 family takes 1.05M tokens, with a long-context surcharge above 272K.
Prompt caching
Cached input bills at 10% of the input rate — big savings on repeated system prompts.
Cost optimization tip
Route high-volume tasks (support tickets, data processing) to GPT-5.6 Luna at $0.20 per 1M input tokens and keep complex reasoning on Terra or Sol. Cached input bills at 10% on repeated system prompts, and batch requests take another 50% off. HostAgentes lets you switch models per agent — no redeployment needed.
HostAgentes vs the OpenAI Agents API
The Agents API keeps orchestration inside OpenAI's stack and ties you to OpenAI models. Paperclip is provider-neutral: the same agent can route runs to GPT-5.6, Claude, Gemini, or Mistral, with memory, restarts, and monitoring handled the same way regardless of model.
Model lineup and prices verified against OpenAI's public API pricing and the Agents API announcement in September 2026. Provider prices change; re-check before committing volume.
Frequently asked questions
Doesn't OpenAI already host agents with its Agents API?
OpenAI's Agents API (September 2026) runs cloud agents on the Codex harness inside OpenAI's stack. That covers orchestration and long-running sessions, but your agent's memory, restarts, monitoring, and multi-provider routing still live in your code. HostAgentes is the managed runtime around any OpenAI model: bring the same API key and Paperclip handles process supervision, persistent memory, auto-restarts, and per-run monitoring — plus model routing across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Mistral.
Which GPT-5.6 tier should my agent use?
Start with GPT-5.6 Terra at $2.00 per 1M input tokens — it handles most production agent workloads. Route high-volume simple tasks to Luna ($0.20 input) and escalate genuinely hard reasoning to Sol or GPT-5.5 Pro. HostAgentes lets you switch models per agent without redeploying.
How much does it cost to run GPT-5.6 agents?
A typical agent run spends about 1,000 input and 100 output tokens, so one million runs cost about $0.32 on Luna, $3.20 on Terra, and $8.00 on Sol at September 2026 list prices — before the 50% batch discount and 10% cached-input rate.
Can I switch OpenAI models without redeploying?
Yes. Change the model per agent from the HostAgentes dashboard at any time, or use model routing to send high-volume runs to Luna and complex reasoning to Sol. No redeployment needed.
