OpenAI has introduced GPT-6.1 Sol, a new model that significantly reduces cached input costs to $0.10 per million tokens, while maintaining its standard pricing. This new model offers a competitive cost-performance tradeoff, particularly for computer-use tasks where it is only slightly behind Astra but substantially cheaper. Additionally, OpenAI is implementing a tiered pricing strategy, with new "Dots" agents for always-on tasks starting at $100 per month, reserving advanced capabilities and faster models for higher-paying users.
