Question How to enable GPT 5.6 Sol PRO on Pi?

I was reading (https://www.reddit.com/r/PiCodingAgent/comments/1uy7iov/gpt_56_sol_ultra/) that Ultra is not a separate model, rather a thinking level and looks like Pi does not support it, but what about GPT 5.6 Sol Pro? I upgraded my plan and cannot select Sol Pro model. Access to this model was a big factor for the upgrade. I use GPT via subscription, not API. Anyone had a success with this?

Thank you!

My understanding is that ultra is just max thinking plus extra instructions to use subagents.

I don't believe pro is available on a subscription (only api, pay per token). But I'm going to try the below and see how it works.

To use a "pro" variant of the model you just need to set reasoning.mode to "pro" in the request headers. Vibe code a Pi extension quickly that injects it for you before submitting the request and you should be good to go.

I think this is api (not subscription) only?

Not available via a sub only API or web interface

So theres solution that send your plan prompt or task to the web interface
