OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Sol, says it nearly matches GPT-6 Astra and costs less

At OpenAI’s DevDay lawsuit connected Tuesday, the institution showed disconnected GPT-6.1 Sol, a specified week aft it launched GPT-6 Sol. OpenAI says the caller exemplary delivers astir the aforesaid level of quality arsenic GPT-6 Astra for agentic coding, machine use, and nonrecreational work, astatine one-fifth the modular input and output token prices.

Notably, the institution is not launching GPT-6.1 Astra, arsenic was primitively expected. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that OpenAI scrapped the merchandise implicit information concerns raised by researchers during interior investigating aft the exemplary showed higher levels of deception and a inclination to determination guardant with tasks without asking the idiosyncratic for permission.

OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol delivers important improvements implicit its predecessor GPT-6 Sol crossed analyzable tasks, including programming and debugging, knowing documents, and executing multi-step workflows. The institution claims that connected respective of these fronts, the exemplary approaches GPT-6 Astra’s performance.

OpenAI besides says the caller exemplary improves factual accuracy erstwhile fixed hard prompts. Its largest summation implicit GPT-6 Sol connected this beforehand appears astatine debased reasoning effort, wherever the stock of responses containing a factual mistake drops from 11.4% to 7.7%. Across each reasoning settings, the institution says, the caller model’s mistake complaint stays wrong 1.9% of GPT-6 Astra.

Additionally, the institution says GPT-6.1 Sol is much upfront astir its limitations and much reliable erstwhile it comes to honoring idiosyncratic intent and information constraints. In challenging evaluations, it’s said to neglect little often than GPT-6 Sol astatine flagging breached hunt tools, pursuing explicit restrictions, and avoiding unauthorized outcomes during tasks. OpenAI claims it observed nary attempts to circumvent the automated information reviewer, accordant with GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6 Sol.

GPT-6.1 Sol is disposable starting contiguous to each Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users successful ChatGPT Work and Codex. OpenAI notes that the exemplary is not yet disposable successful Chat.
