Overview

GPT-6.1 Sol, the latest model from OpenAI, is now generally available and rolling out in GitHub Copilot. You can use it for agentic coding and terminal workflows with strong multistep coding performance and efficient token use. In early testing, it reliably completed tasks while using noticeably fewer tokens and steps than earlier models in the GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 families.

This model is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing. See Models and pricing for GitHub Copilot for details.
