OpenAI launches GPT 6.1 Sol model, close to Astra but cheaper

At OpenAI's DevDay event in the US, the company launched the GPT 6.1 Sol model in Codex and ChatGPT Work. It is designed for repetitive, long-running tasks in code, apps, and documents. Availability depends on your plan, client, and workspace settings.

OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol performs close to Astra on complex tasks but costs less. This makes it a cost-effective option for high-load workloads that need to run continuously.

For pricing, LuminaBench reports that 1 million tokens of input costs $2, cached input costs $0.1, and output costs $10.
