#openai#gpt-6.1-sol#model-release#pricing

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol, an upgrade to GPT-6 Sol, claiming it nearly matches GPT-6 Astra on agentic coding and professional work while costing one-fifth of Astra's standard prices. The model is available in Work and Codex, priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, matching GPT-6 Sol and Claude Sonnet 5.5. OpenAI says it delivers significant improvements across complex professional tasks, including code writing, debugging, document understanding, and multi-step business workflows, and performs well on safety tests.
