Third-party benchmark: GPT-6 Sol outscores Astra on writing
Across five drafts of 10 YouTube scripts scored blind by three AI judges, Sol ranked 6th of 94 models at $0.11 per script, with its effort setting spanning 124 Elo from default to max.
GPT-6 Sol is BETTER than Astra on our benchmark! Much better! We ran it over the same 10 YouTube scripts every other model on our board writes, five drafts each, scored blind by three AI judges. It is 6th out of 94 models, at $0.11 a script. Three things stand out… Its effort dial actually works. Default scores 2058, high 2086, max 2182. That is 124 Elo for roughly double the price, which is the widest effort spread we have measured on any model this month and almost the only one consistent getting better results the more it thinks. It beats GPT-5.6 Sol and Astra while costing a third as much than 5.6 Sol and much much less than Astra. And it beats GPT-6 Astra by far. More on that in the next post. if you were using GPT-5.6 Sol (or Astra) for drafting, this is a straight upgrade on both quality and price. Run it at max effort. Very nice upgrade by @OpenAIDevs !
