TREE NEWS update: OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol, a model whose performance approaches Astra at one-fifth the standard token price. The model is available from today to all Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users across ChatGPT Work and Codex. Standard API pricing is $2 per million input tokens, $0.10 per million cached input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, with an ultra-fast version due in the coming days.

AI take
The pricing gap is the real story here: a frontier-adjacent model at a fifth of Astra's standard token rate resets the cost floor for anyone building on top of it, and bundling it into ChatGPT Work and Codex pushes that economics straight into enterprise workflows rather than leaving it as an API-only decision. Incumbents priced against Astra now face a margin question they did not choose. Whether the ultra-fast tier lands at the same discount, and whether quality holds up outside benchmark conditions, is the open question worth watching.
