Strengths
- OpenAI reports agentic coding and computer-use results close to GPT-6 Astra at one-fifth of Astra's token price
- 1.05M-token context window with up to 128K output tokens and five reasoning effort levels
- Available in the API and in ChatGPT Work and Codex for paid plans
Considerations
- Slower output speed than GPT-6 Sol according to independent measurements
- Reasoning cannot be turned off entirely, and it was not in standard ChatGPT chat at launch
Price
API $2 input / $10 output per 1M tokens ($0.10 cached input)
Shown for reference — price is not part of the score.
