# GPT-6.1 Sol: API price, context window and how to connect

GPT-6.1 Sol by OpenAI: $2 per million input tokens, $10 per million output tokens, a 1.05M-token window. What it is good for, what to compare it with and how to connect it in SKILLOK.

## In short

An upgrade of GPT-6 Sol: in the GPT-6 line it sits below the flagship GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI positions it for agentic coding, computer use and professional work with large documents.

## Specifications

| | |
|---|---|
| Provider | [OpenAI](https://skillok.org/docs/en/ai-models/providers/openai) |
| Released | 2026-09-29 |
| Context window | 1.05M tokens |
| Accepts | files, images, text |
| Answers with | text |
| Reasoning mode | yes |
| Tool calling | yes |

| Identifier | `openai/gpt-6.1-sol` |

## Price

| Per 1M tokens | In dollars |
|---|---|
| Input (question, context) | $2 |
| Output (answer) | $10 |

For reference: a conversation of 20 questions of ~500 tokens and answers of ~800 tokens costs about **$0.18**. Models in reasoning mode spend more tokens on an answer than the text shows: the reasoning is paid for too.

## What it is good for

* Agentic coding: changes across many files
* Work with long documents and files
* Tasks where the model calls tools itself
