GPT-6.1 Sol targets teams that want near-Astra intelligence for coding, computer use, and professional work without paying Astra’s standard API rates. Its standard input and output token prices are each one-fifth of Astra’s.

Here’s what changed:

  • Standard input and output rates both fall to one-fifth of Astra’s prices, so the reduction applies to either side of a request.
  • Sol is described as offering near-Astra intelligence for coding, giving engineers a cheaper option to evaluate for coding workloads.
  • Computer use and professional work are also listed as areas where Sol offers near-Astra intelligence.
  • GPT-6.1 Sol is listed on Databricks, Vercel, Amazon Web Services, and LiteLLM.
