Release: GPT-6.1 Sol – everything on pricing, benchmarks and how it compares
OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol: $2 / $10 per million tokens, near-Astra coding performance, but behind Anthropic's models on the overall index.
OpenAI's GPT series — the Sol, Terra, and Luna lines from GPT-5.6, joined since September 2026 by the GPT-6 line Astra.
OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol: $2 / $10 per million tokens, near-Astra coding performance, but behind Anthropic's models on the overall index.
OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Astra — the first model to hit the Critical tier of its Preparedness Framework. Almost nobody has tested it independently yet.
OpenAI released GPT-5.6 (Sol/Terra/Luna) — but only after a pre-release review by the US government. What that means for frontier models.
Since August 2026, Daybreak Blue gives vetted defenders access to Sol with fewer cyber refusals. It is not a new AI model.
OpenAI closed the round end of March at $852B valuation. Who got in, what Amazon, Nvidia and SoftBank pay, what it means.
Since 5 May 2026, GPT-5.5 Instant is the new default model in ChatGPT. -52.5% hallucinations on law, medicine, finance — and fewer emojis.
I used GPT-6 Astra and Fable 5.1 as independent reviewers for RLS, API and tenant-isolation checks. The useful part was the structured cross-review.
First Astra blocked my cybersecurity request. The hint led me to Trusted Access, identity verification and into OpenAI's Daybreak program.
Sol 6.1 resolves a merge with 12 conflicting files cleanly, Opus 5.5 reviews. Then it spends two hours fixing failures outside its task.
July 2026 in AI: Sonnet 5 and Opus 5 from Anthropic, GPT-5.6 after a US review, Kimi K3 as open weights, and new GEO controls in Search Console.
I wired GPT-6.1 Sol into boostN right after release. Early tasks run reliably. My first take, with a comparison chart. Detailed tests still running.
