OpenAI Launches GPT-6.1 Sol for Coding and Computer Control
OpenAI has launched the AI model GPT-6.1 Sol, optimised for coding and computer control. The model is priced at one-fifth the cost of the Astra series.

What happened?
OpenAI has unveiled its new AI model, GPT-6.1 Sol. The model has been developed for programming, computer usage, and professional workflows. The price for API usage has been set at one-fifth of the input and output pricing of the Astra model series.
Key facts
| Modellnamn | GPT-6.1 Sol |
|---|---|
| API-prisnivå | 1/5 av Astras standardpris för in/ut-tokens |
| Huvudområden | Kodning, datoranvändning, professionella uppgifter |
”Meet GPT-6.1 Sol: near-Astra intelligence for coding, computer use, and professional work at one-fifth of Astra’s standard API input and output token prices.”
Why it matters
By significantly lowering token prices, OpenAI aims to make the deployment of advanced AI agents more economically viable. The focus is on tasks where the model can interact directly with interfaces and execute code, without costs escalating for large-scale applications.
Who is affected?
The launch is aimed at software developers, companies, and organisations building automated workflows. End-users utilising computer control and advanced coding via API or ChatGPT will also benefit from the reduced price point.
Impact on the EU
GPT-6.1 Sol is being launched globally via OpenAI's API and ChatGPT, making the model available to users in the EU from the outset. Access is regulated under existing EU frameworks such as GDPR and the forthcoming requirements of the EU AI Act regarding general-purpose AI models.
What else you should know
Offering models with specialised functionality such as computer usage at a lower price point reflects the ongoing price competition in the AI market. OpenAI emphasises that the pricing structure is primarily intended to make large-scale implementations in enterprise systems economically feasible.
