Compare GPT 6 Astra from OpenAI and GPT 6.1 Sol from OpenAI on key metrics including benchmarks, price, context length, and other model features. Access both models and hundreds of others through the AIHubMix API.
GPT 6 AstraGPT 6.1 SolGPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's newest and most intelligent model, with industry-leading performance in computer operations, web browsing, software engineering, scientific research, and professional work. It excels at executing multi-step workflows across code, browsers, and various professional software. Astra can achieve better results with significantly fewer output tokens, making its estimated API cost per task lower.
GPT-6.1 Sol is OpenAI's latest model in the GPT-6 series, specifically designed for complex programming and agent workflows. GPT-6.1 Sol's performance in complex programming, computer operations, and professional work tasks is close to Astra, but at a lower cost. You can compare the two on your own tasks to weigh quality against cost.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
Estimate your monthly bill for the same workload on each model.
Monthly = daily × 30. Discounted rates applied where a promotion is active.
GPT 6.1 Sol: $10/M output tokens; GPT 6 Astra: $50/M. Use the cost calculator above to estimate your own workload.
GPT 6.1 Sol: 8.8s time to first token measured on AIHubMix; see the live performance charts above for how each model behaves across the day.
GPT 6 Astra accepts 1,050,000 and GPT 6.1 Sol accepts 1,050,000 input tokens.
GPT 6.1 Sol at 35.9 tok/s and GPT 6 Astra at 32.2 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
GPT 6 Astra accepts text and image input and supports tool calling, thinking and structured outputs; GPT 6.1 Sol accepts text and image input.
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
