OpenAI accelerates AI again! Officials announced the launch of a new "Ultrafast" mode for GPT-6.1 Sol. The biggest selling point is that the operating speed can be up to 8 times that of the Sol Standard standard mode, so that the AI ​​no longer has to spit out answers slowly. However, if you want to enjoy the extremely fast experience, the price is not cheap, because the price of API usage directly becomes 6 times that of the standard version, and is even more expensive than the higher-end Astra model.

Speed up to 8 times faster, focusing on quick response

OpenAI said that GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast has intelligent capabilities close to the flagship GPT-6 Astra, but the biggest focus of this upgrade is speed. Compared with the Sol Standard standard mode, ultrafast Ultrafast's Token generation speed is up to 8 times faster, so users do not have to spend too much time waiting for answers.

This feature is mainly targeted at professional developers and enterprises. For example, when a website or system suddenly fails, it can allow AI to help analyze the problem more quickly and find out the cause; or it can allow AI agents to operate apps, perform multi-step tasks, and apply them to services that require real-time interaction to reduce waiting time.

Price is 6 times higher than standard model and more expensive than Astra

However, as speeds increased, prices soared. According to the API charging standard announced by OpenAI, GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast charges 12 US dollars per 1 million input tokens and 60 US dollars for output tokens. In comparison, the Sol Standard standard mode only costs 2 US dollars and 10 US dollars respectively, which means that the input and output prices are directly increased by 6 times.

GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast is even more expensive than GPT-6 Astra. Astra’s standard mode charges $10 per 1 million input tokens and $50 for output tokens. In conversion, Ultrafast’s price is 20% higher. The key is that what OpenAI sells this time is not just the intelligence of AI, but faster response speed. For ordinary users, it may not be necessary to spend more money to shorten waiting time, but for enterprises that emphasize efficiency, speed may directly affect workflow and operating costs.

Who can use it first?

GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast has begun to be rolled out to API, Codex and ChatGPT Work. In Codex and ChatGPT Work, the Ultrafast mode is open to the Pro 500 plan, the Enterprise enterprise plan that is eligible and billed based on usage, and the Edu education plan that adopts point-based billing. Among them, the Enterprise solution must also be actively enabled by the administrator.
