Best for

  • Computer-use and browser agents
  • Everyday office work in ChatGPT and Codex
  • Apps that need more than Luna but can't justify Sol

Strengths

  • $1 / $5, half the price of GPT-6.1 Sol
  • Available in ChatGPT (Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Edu), Codex and the API from day one
  • About a 1.1M-token context window, per OpenRouter's listing

Watch out for

  • OpenAI says it matches GPT-6 Astra at a tenth of the price; Artificial Analysis puts it clearly below Sol, so treat that claim with care
  • Its best scores need max effort, which bills many more output tokens
