GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price(openai.com)

Frontier models are being used to obtain training data from users. We burn tokens teaching OpenAI how to make a cheaper model that is almost as good. I think the new $500/month pricing strategy is a significant misstep by someone who has clearly not tried Gemini 3.8 Flash or Deepseek 4.1 Flash.

So when does Anthropic answer? Tomorrow?

hopefully the answer doesn't include an increase in cost/decrease in usage.

You live in a ping-pong.

I find GPT 6 to be lacking in common sense when it comes to interpreting my prompts.

I have to be more literal with it than with GPT 5.x, otherwise, it sometimes does something totally different than what I want.

Wasn't 6 released like last week? I can't keep up anymore.

It was so underwhelming that it didn't even make it to chatgpt chat interface

Sol 6 is in there? You may be on Enterprise where it didn't roll out by default and comes out in a week or so. (Which is a weird and bad change to their model releases.)

Yes but it was underwhelming, so they seem to have rushed 6.1 Sol out. Also Opus 5.5 may have spooked them too.

Do you need to? Do you always keep up with all the version bumps on the software you use?

I feel a little salty about the plan changes. I wanted to upgrade to the $200 plan a day after it was blocked. Now it only includes half the usage unless for those that got grandfathered into the x20 usage.

Grandfathered for a whole month. You're not missing much.

What happened to "we urge you to urge us to stop moving AI so fast"?

API price cuts were obvious once they made their announcement changing how usage is counted.

These moves all make sense when you take into account the enterprise market.

Is it really 1/5 of the price if most people who use it are also losing 1/2 of their credits?

Guys, are we slowing down yet?

Yes, obviously. They're both working to make it cheaper, faster, and better at different industries (3d animations, etc). The only direction they are slowing is raw intelligence.

The main issue I have is how they nerf their models and the quality difference between API users and their subscribers.

What is the quality difference between the API and subscriptions?
