GPT-6 Sol

GPT‑6 Sol is an OpenAI‑released large language model in the GPT‑6 family, launched alongside a Luna variant in early October 2026. The coverage notes its inclusion in Amazon Bedrock’s cross‑region inference, its use in Robinhood trading agents, and its performance in benchmarks where a later GPT‑6.1 Sol upgrade approaches Astra‑level coding at a fraction of the cost.

GPT-6 Sol is a language model from Microsoft, first covered on 16 September 2026. It is available through an API. Its context window is 1M tokens.
