OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6.1 Sol as a new option for automated workflows. According to the release, the system is designed to deliver "near-Astra intelligence" across technical and enterprise tasks. The announcement specifically targets functionality for "coding, computer use, and professional work."

Alongside its performance profile, OpenAI highlighted a distinct shift in pricing for the new release. The model is made available at "one-fifth of Astra’s standard API input and output token prices." This reduction applies across both input and output usage for developers accessing the model through the API.

What this means for you

The substantial price cut provides organizations with a more affordable alternative for automated software tasks and programming pipelines. If the system sustains its target performance in practice, businesses could operate computer-use and coding workflows while lowering standard API token expenditures.
