OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Sol at one-fifth of Astra pricing
The pitch is near-Astra agent performance at sharply lower token and task costs.
TestingCatalog says GPT-6.1 Sol is now available in ChatGPT Work and Codex for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users, with API access as `gpt-6.1-sol`. The piece cites OpenAI benchmark claims showing gains over GPT-6 Sol in coding, computer use, automation and science tasks, while often approaching Astra at a fraction of the cost. Astra still leads on the hardest scientific research test mentioned. Pricing is listed at $2 per million input tokens, $0.10 per million cached input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
