OpenAI has slashed the price of flagship-level AI to rock-bottom.
GPT-6.1 Sol: according to the official, its capabilities are close to the company’s strongest in-house Astra, yet it costs only one-fifth as much—2 USD for a million-token input, while Astra charges 10 USD.
Before, it was “flagships are too expensive to use.” Now it’s “flagships—go ahead and use them.” This isn’t a model revolution; it’s a breach of the pricing anchor.
Which side are you on: is this OpenAI clearing out inventory for the next generation, or has AI officially become like water, electricity, and gas?
