Openai launches GPT 6.1 SOL

Sam Altman has announced GPT 6.1 Sol, OpenAI’s newest model, and this one is aimed less at simple chat and more at actually getting work done.

The model is built around agentic coding, computer use, and professional workflows. In other words, OpenAI is positioning it for tasks where the model needs to reason through a problem, use tools, interact with a computer, write and modify code, and complete longer workflows rather than just give you an answer.

One of the more interesting claims from OpenAI is that GPT 6.1 Sol can get close to the performance of its more advanced Astra model on some benchmarks while using significantly fewer tokens.

That matters because token usage directly affects both cost and how efficiently an agent can work through large tasks.

The API is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.

GPT 6.1 Sol is now available through ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the OpenAI API.

For developers building AI agents, coding tools, and products that need models to actually operate software instead of simply talk about it, this could be a pretty important release.
