GPT-6.1 Sol caught my attention cause of it's price.
For the price, the results are honestly pretty solid.
β Astra: $10 input / $50 output
β Sol: $2 input / $10 output
β 1M+ token context
β Web search + computer use
β Multi-agent support
Itβs significantly cheaper than Astra yet it's performance is remarkably strong for the price.
but if you want the absolute best results, Astra is still the one to go for.
you see Sol price and his output looks really impressive
Sonnet 5.5 vs GPT-6.1 Sol
Same prompt, same reasoning level.
But the price difference is wild:
β Sonnet: ~$100
β Sol: ~$30
Both took around 3 hours and the results were pretty close.
Sol used less than a third of the cost of Sonnet for roughly the same output.
thatβs honestly pretty impressive
