When to use GPT-6.1 Sol

Good fit

  • code generation, debugging, and agentic development work where output quality affects engineering time
  • reasoning-heavy prompts, planning, analysis, and multi-step tool use
  • long-document and repository-scale prompts where context window matters

Be careful with

  • blind migration without testing your own prompts, latency, and failure modes
