    Teams that want near-flagship GPT-6 agentic coding and computer use at a fifth of Astra's price

    Overview GPT-6.1 Sol

    OpenAI's September 29, 2026 DevDay model and an upgrade to GPT-6 Sol, priced at $2 input and $10 output per million tokens with cached input at $0.10 (95% off standard input, and half of GPT-6 Sol's cache price). Prompts with more than 272K input tokens are billed at 2x the input and cache rates and 1.5x the output rate for the full request. It accepts text and image input, provides a 1.05M-token context window and up to 128K output, and supports reasoning effort from low to maximum. OpenAI positions it as "near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price": it matches GPT-6 Astra on DeepSWE v1.1 at roughly a fifth of the cost, comes within 2.1 points of Astra on OSWorld 2.0 computer use, and scores 2.2 points above Claude Opus 5.5 on AutomationBench. Available in ChatGPT Work, Codex and the API (as gpt-6.1-sol), but not yet in the main ChatGPT chat.

    Overview DeepSeek V4.1 Flash

    DeepSeek V4.1 Flash was released September 10, 2026 under an MIT license and is served through the deepseek-flash alias; the legacy deepseek-v4-flash slug temporarily routes to it. Its 552B-parameter backbone uses 8B active parameters for prefill and 16B for decode, with vision input and a 1M-token context. The 1017 checkpoint shipped October 17, 2026. Hosted access has peak-hour cache-miss pricing of $0.30 input and $1.20 output per million tokens, halved off-peak, with cache hits at $0.006.

    Overview MiniMax M3

    MiniMax introduced M3 on June 1, 2026 with MiniMax Sparse Attention, native text, image and video input, and a 1M-token context. Published weights use the MiniMax community license. The standard provider API costs $0.30/$1.20 per MTok (input/output) for requests with at most 512K input tokens; both rates double above that threshold. Optional priority service costs 1.5 times the corresponding standard rate. MiniMax labels these standard rates a permanent 50% discount.

    Real-time multimodal applications needing Gemini 3.x quality at production scale

    Overview Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite

    Google's Gemini 3-series model for high-volume lightweight tasks, first released in preview on March 3, 2026. Gemini API general availability and Google Cloud's GA announcement are dated May 7. It supports text, image, video, audio and PDF input with text output, a 1,048,576-token input limit and a 65,536-token output limit. Standard Gemini API pricing is $0.25/$1.50 per MTok (input/output) for text/image/video input and text output; audio input costs $0.50 per million tokens. Google recommends Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite as its replacement and lists May 7, 2027 as the earliest shutdown date.
