For comparison, close to Opus 5. Far behind Sol 6.1 and Opus 5.5.

Probably a pretty decent model for 90% of the usecases!

I've been doing a lot of hobby work with GLM 5.3 Flash and I can count the amount of times that I need a stronger model on two hands.

I have access to unlimited tokens at works and Opus is great but also often overkill if you know exactly what you need.

I use Opus for planning, through API on medium thinking, it doesn't cost anything significant and the rest can be happily done with deepseek or glm flash. Using sol 6.1 for review loops at the end. All running on pi.

A very complex task tends to cost like 10$ max. It's comparable to a subscription with enormous flexibility.

It's a steal.

Honestly, I don't know what people see in Sol 6.1. Opus 5.5 is so much more inteligent, as in proactive, avoiding stupid mistakes, where it contradicts itself, ignores the context. Sol 6.1 has a gold-fish memory, it's as annoying for me to work with as Opus 5 was.

    I'd rank Sol 6.1 only slightly behind Opus 5.5 in intelligence and both significantly ahead of anything else I've used (though cheaper/faster models are totally fine for a lot of tasks). My only real annoyance is 6.1 Sol is one of the slowest models I've used, which does make Opus 5.5 more pleasant to use.
