OpenAI Sol Crushes the Price War

🔥 What happened OpenAI launched GPT-6.1 Sol at $2/$10 per million tokens — 80% cheaper than Astra. Sonnet 5.5 debuted at #3 on Agent Arena, giving Anthropic the top three spots. 💡 Why it matters Sol costs $0.56 per task, 39% less than GPT-6 Sol while scoring 1.52 points higher. Sonnet 5.5 beats Opus 5.5 but at $2.74 per task it falls off the Pareto frontier. ⚡ Our take OpenAI is running the Amazon playbook: torch prices until rivals bleed. Anthropic wins benchmarks but loses the cost war — and that's what enterprises actually buy.
