Turing Post summarized OpenAI's latest lineup:
- GPT-6.1 Sol: near-Astra intelligence at 1/5 the token price
- Ultrafast: up to 300 tokens/sec in Codex
- Pro 500: 25× Plus usage
The strategy: cheaper intelligence for everyday work, premium pricing for speed. One commenter added they'd love to delegate model choice to automated routing.
