Introducing GPT-6.1 Sol

PUBLISHER ARTICLE PREVIEW

From the original article

We’re introducing GPT‑6.1 Sol, an upgrade to GPT‑6 Sol that nearly matches GPT‑6 Astra’s intelligence on agentic coding, computer use, and professional work at one-fifth of Astra’s standard input and output token prices. Cached input costs just $0.10 per million tokens—95% less than standard input pricing and 50% less than GPT‑6 Sol’s cached input pricing—giving developers more room to build and run capable agents that reuse context across requests.

GPT‑6.1 Sol offers a new balance of capability and cost for important everyday work. It delivers substantial improvements over GPT‑6 Sol across complex professional tasks, from writing and debugging code to understanding documents and executing multi-step business workflows. On several of these evaluations, it approaches GPT‑6 Astra’s performance at substantially lower cost.

On DeepSWE v1.1, which evaluates complex software-engineering tasks in real codebases, GPT‑6.1 Sol matches GPT‑6 Astra at roughly one-fifth of the cost, while eclipsing GPT‑6 Sol’s best score by 6.4 percentage points at a lower reasoning effort and cost.

On GDP.pdf, which measures how accurately models answer professional questions using complex PDF documents, including tables, charts, diagrams, and fine-print details, GPT‑6.1 Sol scores higher than Opus 5.5 with fallbacks at less than half the cost per task across the tested reasoning settings. It also approaches GPT‑6 Astra’s state-of-the-art performance at roughly one-fifth the cost per task.

In GDP.pdf⁠, models must answer real-world prompts about complex PDFs pulled from professional workflows in finance, healthcare, legal, and seven other professional domains.

On AutomationBench, which measures whether agents correctly complete multi-step business workflows, GPT‑6.1 Sol scores 2.2 percentage points above Opus 5.5 at medium reasoning effort, at roughly a third of the cost. That score is also up 4.8 percentage points from GPT‑6 Sol at the same
