OpenAI rolled out GPT-6.1 Sol: almost Astra level at a fifth of the price

The model has been available since 29 September in ChatGPT Work and Codex, and at DevDay OpenAI also showed dots, Ultrafast and the Pro 500 plan.

If you run tokens through the API or Codex, it is worth testing gpt-6.1-sol on your tasks and comparing the price with Astra.

OpenAI introduced dots based on GPT-6 Astra: agents that work continuously, each on its own cloud computer. Available on Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise in eligible regions. [@OpenAI, 29 September 2026]

OpenAI states that on alignment evaluations GPT-6.1 Sol is markedly better than GPT-6 Sol and closer to GPT-6 Astra: it is more honest about its limitations and more reliably follows user intent and safety constraints. [@OpenAI, 29 September 2026]
GPT-6.1 Sol is available starting today to all Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users in ChatGPT Work and Codex. [@OpenAI, 29 September 2026]
