Our hourly sweep found an id that was not there an hour ago.
Catalog id: venice/openai-gpt-61-sol
Listed price: $2.5/$12.5 per 1M
Context window: 1,050,000 tokens
First observed by our sweep: 2026-09-29 21:56 UTC
Source: models.dev (venice)
This entry is machine-written from what the sweep actually read, and nothing else. A catalog listing is a primary source for exactly one narrow fact — that this id now exists, at this price, with this context window — and it is not evidence of anything beyond that. It does not tell you the model is good, that the listing is intentional, that the weights are open, or that the vendor has announced it. Those questions need a human and an editor's judgement, and this item deliberately does not answer them.
It maps to GPT-6.1 Sol, already on our watchlist — registry note: live — Sep 29, launched at DevDay · $2/$10 per 1M, cached input $0.10 (half of GPT-6 Sol's) · in ChatGPT Work and Codex for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu, not yet in Chat · OpenAI says it nearly matches GPT-6 Astra on agentic coding, computer use and professional work at a fifth of Astra's price · Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index 52 at max effort, #10 of 221 reasoning models (read Sep 29) · 1.05M ctx as OpenRouter lists it, which also carries gpt-6.1-sol-pro (the same model in a pro reasoning mode) · Ultrafast (up to 8x faster in Codex) 'in the coming days' · our sweep read gpt-6.1-sol on OpenAI's public model docs at 17:23 UTC and fired at 17:24, about 20 minutes after the keynote.
