Critic: GPT-6.1 Sol would need 2x the effectiveness of Opus 5.5 tokens to justify OpenAI's cut
RexDouglass · x · 2026-10-23
Following up on SemiAnalysis's subscription-value chart, RexDouglass calls OpenAI's claim that GPT-6.1 Sol makes up for the halved tokens-per-dollar "insane" — it requires believing each Sol token is twice as effective as an Opus 5.5 token. The chart shows Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5 plans reaching 50x+ API-equivalent value per $1, while GPT tiers hover around 10x.
