The AI pricing war is heating up. GPT-6.1-Sol is the 2nd most capable model after Astra (which is still the frontier model for challenging problems), and it's a ridiculous outlier on the Pareto front. @GertLabs tested GPT-6.1-Sol in 100 unsaturated coding and engineering environments and it's an unnecessarily strong answer to Opus/Sonnet 5.5. It's cheaper and pretty much smarter all around than both models with the exception of chemistry, which is a domain that recent Anthropic models perform surprisingly well in. While our bench measures hard problems, I think a lot of people are feeling that recent mid-tier models are already smart enough for most of their coding work. The speed at which frontier labs are releasing measurable upgrades at competitive prices is pretty wild.... Pricing wars == good for everyone
