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.

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.
