Compare GPT-6.1 Sol
Frequently Asked Questions about GPT-6.1 Sol
How much does the GPT-6.1 Sol API cost per 1M tokens?+
GPT-6.1 Sol by OpenAI is priced at $2 per 1M input tokens and $10 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.1 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.
Should I use a $20/month subscription or the GPT-6.1 Sol pay-as-you-go API?+
A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.
How many words and pages fit in GPT-6.1 Sol's context window?+
GPT-6.1 Sol features a 1M tokens context window, which equals approximately 750,000 English words or ~2,000 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 128,000 tokens.
Can I run GPT-6.1 Sol locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+
No, GPT-6.1 Sol is a proprietary closed-weights model hosted by OpenAI. It cannot be downloaded for local GPU execution and must be accessed via OpenAI's official API or cloud platform.
Does OpenAI train on data sent to the GPT-6.1 Sol API, and is commercial use allowed?+
API payloads are excluded from model training by default. License tier: Proprietary Commercial API (OpenAI Terms). Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: OpenAI Platform API, Microsoft Azure OpenAI Foundry.
How does GPT-6.1 Sol perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+
GPT-6.1 Sol achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 94/100, scoring 82.3% on SWE-bench Verified, 80.8% on GPQA Diamond, 89.9% on MMLU-Pro, and 1519 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.
What is GPT-6.1 Sol best used for?+
GPT-6.1 Sol is best suited for: le meilleur valeur modèle de pointe pour professionnel et agentic travail. Assessment: de 2026 meilleur valeur-à-capacité modèle de pointe.

AI Glossary & Architecture Concepts
View full glossary →Key machine learning concepts and benchmarks relevant to GPT-6.1 Sol:
L'unité textuelle de base traitée par un modèle linguistique, représentant généralement 3 à 4 caractères ou environ 0,75 mot. Par exemple, une phrase courante est découpée en plusieurs jetons.
Une suite de tests standardisés permettant d'évaluer et de comparer objectivement les performances des modèles d'IA sur des tâches ciblées (code avec SWE-bench, mathématiques avec AIME, etc.).
Le nombre maximal de jetons qu'un modèle peut traiter simultanément (entrée et sortie comprises). Une fenêtre de 1 000 000 jetons permet d'analyser environ 750 000 mots en une seule requête.
Un modèle d'IA entraîné par apprentissage par renforcement pour allouer du temps de calcul à la réflexion logique avant d'émettre une solution, idéal pour les problèmes scientifiques et le code complexe.
Une méthode de raisonnement pas-à-pas où le modèle décompose le problème en étapes logiques intermédiaires avant de conclure, augmentant drastiquement la précision en mathématiques et programmation.
La capacité d'un LLM à déterminer quand une action externe est requise et à générer des arguments structurés pour invoquer des API, calculatrices ou bases de données avant de poursuivre.
Les scores de benchmarks, tarifs par token et limites évoluent rapidement. Vérifiez toujours les spécifications actuelles sur la documentation officielle du fournisseur.
