AI model comparison
Compare pricing, context limits, supported inputs and deployment options to choose a model for your workflow.
Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol are candidates for coding, reasoning and professional workflows. Check whether each model can hold the input and tool results your workflow needs before comparing the token rates.
Coding and document work need a checkable deliverable: a patch that passes required checks, or an answer supported by the supplied material. A broader specification sheet does not establish better results for your repository or documents.
The prices below belong to the recorded API routes. Processing tiers, long-context rules, cache behavior and tool charges can change the cost of a complete task.

GPT-6.1 Sol is OpenAI's updated Sol model for coding and professional tasks. It accepts text and images and returns text.
Pricing conditions: Standard starting rates cover prompts up to 272K input tokens. Longer prompts use 2× input/cache rates and 1.5× output rates for the full request. Fast, Ultrafast, cache writes and tool calls have separate conditions.

Workload guidance
Run the same representative jobs with identical tool access and an explicit effort setting. Inspect incomplete work and failed tool calls alongside successful outputs. Compare total billed usage, time to a verified deliverable and the corrections a person must make.
If the lower-cost candidate passes your acceptance criteria, use it for that workload. Move difficult cases to the more expensive route when the evaluation demonstrates a useful improvement. Coding and document work need a checkable deliverable: a patch that passes required checks, or an answer supported by the supplied material. No universal winner is inferred from a specification score.
