GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price

simonwillison.net original

My comment on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price — Hacker News.

I'm a bit late with the pelicans because I was live-blogging the keynote: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/29/openai-devday-2026-liv...

Here they are for GPT-6.1-Sol: https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer?url=ht...

They're not notably different from the GPT-6 family pelicans: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2026/gpt-pelicans-gr...
