Claude Sonnet 5.5 pricing notes
The full 1M-token window bills at the standard rate, with no long-context surcharge.
Cache writes bill at $2.50 per 1M tokens (5-minute tier); cache hits at $0.10, half Sonnet 5's $0.20.
GPT-6.1 Sol pricing notes
Requests over 272K input tokens bill the entire request at 2x the input and cache rates and 1.5x the output rate; the listed price is the short-context rate.
Cache hits bill at $0.10 per 1M tokens, half GPT-6 Sol's $0.20; cache writes cost $2.50 (30-minute) or $5.00 (12-hour).
Anthropic's mid-tier Claude model, which Anthropic describes as its best combination of speed and intelligence. It succeeds Sonnet 5 at the same $2 / $10 rate, with a 1M-token context and half the cache-read price, and sits below Opus 5.5.
Pick it if
you want Claude at half of Opus 5.5's per-token price
you resend long prompts; cache hits bill at 5% of input
your prompts need a 1M-token window at the standard rate
Skip it if
Haiku 5.5 handles your high-volume classification or routing more cheaply
your code forces tool use or sets temperature; both return errors
OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol, for complex coding and professional work, replaced GPT-6 Sol at the same $2 / $10 rate with half Sol's cache-hit price. It sits below GPT-6 Astra and above GPT-6 Luna in price.
Pick it if
you want complex coding work at one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra's token price
you resend long prompts; cache hits bill at 5% of input
your prompts mix text and images
Skip it if
GPT-6 Luna at $0.10 / $0.50 covers your workload
your prompts often pass 272K input tokens; the whole request then bills higher
FAQ
Which is cheaper, Claude Sonnet 5.5 or GPT-6.1 Sol?
Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol list the same input and output prices. On a coding-agent session (2M tokens in, 60,000 out) Claude Sonnet 5.5 costs $4.60 and GPT-6.1 Sol $4.60.
Can I switch between Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol mid-task?
Yes. In an Octomind session, /model octohub:claude-sonnet-5-5 and /model octohub:gpt-6.1-sol switch models without losing the conversation, so you can draft on one and review on the other.
