Introducing GPT-6.1 Sol

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol, an upgrade to GPT-6 Sol aimed at agentic coding, computer use and document-heavy work. API prices are $2 and $10 per million tokens for input and output, with $0.10 for cached input, about one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra.

Why it matters

Developers running coding or computer-use agents on GPT-6 Astra can test gpt-6.1-sol as a cheaper default, because OpenAI's benchmarks show near-Astra results at roughly a fifth of the cost; Astra remains the pick for the hardest research tasks.

The Future Is for Everyone: Muse for Small Business

Meta expanded Muse, its personal AI agent in the US and Canada, with small-business skills and connectors for tools such as Shopify, Stripe, QuickBooks, Slack, Notion and Canva plus Facebook and Instagram business accounts. Meta says nothing publishes, sends or spends without approval.

Why it matters

Small-business users weighing Muse should test it with limited connector access before granting payment or bookkeeping accounts, because the agent acts across Stripe, QuickBooks and ad accounts, and per-action approval is the main control on spend.
