GPT-6.1 Sol
OpenAI’s current middle tier: close to Astra on agent work, at a Sol price.
About GPT-6.1 Sol
GPT-6.1 Sol came out at OpenAI’s DevDay on 29 September 2026, a week after GPT-6 Sol and at the same price. OpenAI says it matches GPT-6 Astra on the DeepSWE coding test at about a fifth of the cost, and lands within about two points of Astra on OSWorld, the computer-use test, at roughly a seventh of the cost per task.
It is the GPT to pick for production agents that need to be both good and affordable: coding, operating software, building documents and spreadsheets. It always reasons a little — the lowest setting is low — and OpenAI says it makes a factual error in about a third fewer answers than GPT-6 Sol at that setting.
Where it’s strong
Production coding agents at a mid-tier price.
Operating software and working through web forms.
Professional documents and spreadsheet work.
Science and command-line work on a budget.
Where to be careful
Astra still leads on the hardest science problems.
OpenAI’s cost comparisons are against Claude Opus 5.5; its like-for-like rival on price is Claude Sonnet 5.5, so compare against that.
Released on 29 September 2026, so independent testing is still thin.
Price
For scale: 1,000 requests of about 3,000 tokens in and 1,000 out cost $18.40 — a long prompt and a page of answer each. Every rate is published and stays the same from one request to the next. See every model.

Questions
How much does GPT-6.1 Sol cost?
Input is $2.30 per 1M tokens; output is $11.50 per 1M tokens. For scale, 1,000 requests of about 3,000 tokens in and 1,000 out cost $18.40. The rate is published and does not change from one request to the next.
Can I use GPT-6.1 Sol alongside other models?
Yes. Every model on Roar AI is on the same API key and the same monthly invoice, so switching from GPT-6.1 Sol to another model is a change to one word in your code.
Is GPT-6.1 Sol open source?
No. OpenAI does not publish the weights, so it is only available through an API like this one.
