GPT-6.1 Sol, announced 29 September 2026, delivers in OpenAI's words "near-Astra intelligence to everyone at a fifth of its standard input and output token prices", with "exceptionally strong performance on agentic coding, along with computer use, and professional work". It is available to all API, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users.

Why it matters

A fifth of the token price at near-flagship agentic-coding quality moves always-on agent loops from a budget question to a design question, which is what makes the compliance date the binding constraint rather than the cost.
