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

[jbellis]

There's a bunch of skepticism in the replies but I ran over 100 tasks against DeepSeek 4.1 Flash and Sol (among others) and I can confirm, it is in fact a little smarter than Sol and a little more expensive than Luna. https://slopcop.com/power-ranking?pricing=api

I also spent $280 on DeepSeek doing the tests (direct to DS, not OpenRouter). I suggest that if you can't conceive of anyone spending $200 on DeepSeek, you're not being ambitious enough!

So if money isn't a problem, opus is the best?

[jbellis → jambutters]

Yes. And on subscription pricing it's even cheaper per task solved than DeepSeek.

wouldnt taht be technically no? Fable should be best if money _really_ isnt a factor?

tbf, i barely feel the difference with opus 5.5 anymore either.
