What happened
OpenAI's September 29 safety addendum and product listings identify GPT-6.1 Sol as a GPT-6-series model for coding, computer use, and professional tasks. The company positions it as a more affordable alternative for certain demanding workflows. Access and exact costs depend on the model service and product.
Why it matters
Computer-use agents require permission boundaries and auditable actions, regardless of model strength. Deployment teams should compare task completion, unsafe action prevention, latency, and actual spend.
