I don't understand the constant bashing of GPT 6/6.1 Sol's performance relative to 5.6 and Astra. Why are we ignoring the elephant in the room, the absurd price + efficiency gains? It costs half as much as Sonnet 5.5, 1/3rd of 5.6 Sol, 1/5th of Opus 5.5, and 1.7th of Astra.
Summary
A Reddit user argues that GPT 6/6.1 Sol is being unfairly criticized for its performance relative to other models, highlighting its significant cost advantages and efficiency gains.
