gpt-6.1-sol — API, Pricing & Context Window | Vivgrid
Run OpenAI's gpt-6.1-sol on Vivgrid: the latest balanced gpt-6 model with a 1.05M-token context window, 128K max output, geo-distributed acceleration, and a unified API.
gpt-6.1-sol is the latest balanced model in OpenAI's gpt-6 family, succeeding gpt-6-sol. It keeps the generation's 1.05M-token context window and 128K-token max output at the same per-token price as gpt-6-sol, making it the new default for production coding agents that need more than a small model.
On Vivgrid, gpt-6.1-sol is served through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with geo-distributed acceleration across AMER, EMEA, and APAC, so requests are routed to the nearest compute region for lower latency. Moving an agent from gpt-6-sol is a model-string change in the Console, with no application code to touch.
It is available on both OpenAI surfaces — Chat Completions (/chat/completions) and the Responses API (/responses) — so coding CLIs that expect the Responses wire format, such as Codex and Pi, work against the same key.

Pricing
Pricing in USD per 1M tokens, matching the provider's rates.
| Input | Cached input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| $2.00 | $0.20 | $10.00 |
What one request costs
The rates above applied to a 20K-token prompt with a 2K-token reply — a typical single agent turn, small enough that every request is billed at the base rate.
| Request | Cost |
|---|---|
| Cold prompt, nothing cached | $0.0600 |
| Warm prompt, 90% of the input served from cache | $0.0276 |
Prompt caching is billed at $2.50 per 1M cache-write tokens, with cached reads at $0.20.
Requests beyond 272K input tokens are billed at the long-context rate: $4.00 input / $0.40 cached input / $5.00 cache write / $15.00 output per 1M tokens.
API surfaces
The Vivgrid Console catalogs gpt-6.1-sol on 2 surfaces, all behind the same API key. The endpoint shown is the one the Console previews for that surface.
| Surface | Primary endpoint | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Chat Completions | /chat/completions | Agent projects, where Vivgrid injects the model, system prompt and tools server-side, and Model API calls that name the model per request. |
| Vibe coding | /chat/completions | Coding CLIs and IDE agents that drive the model themselves — point the tool at Vivgrid and keep your own loop. |
