On September 30, 2026, OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol, just a week after GPT-6 Sol. GPT-6.1 Sol scores 1 point below GPT-6 Astra in the Intelligence Index while costing less than a quarter of Astra's price per task. The new model improves on GPT-6 Sol with a 4-point increase in the Intelligence Index and a reduction in hallucination rates from 60% to 54%. Pricing for GPT-6.1 Sol matches GPT-6 Sol at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with a higher cache read discount. It also uses 10-30% more output tokens than GPT-6 Sol but achieves better performance across various benchmarks. The model is positioned as the most cost-effective option for agentic workloads, outperforming previous models in both intelligence and efficiency. The release of GPT-6.1 Sol reflects OpenAI's ongoing efforts to enhance AI capabilities while reducing costs.
