GPT-6 Sol vs DeepSeek V4.1-Flash
Values come from GPT-6 Sol and DeepSeek V4.1-Flash, where each is cited to its source. This page states no benchmark result and ranks neither model — it puts two published specifications next to each other. Where a lab has not published a figure, the row says so rather than guessing.

What actually differs
- Context window
- GPT-6 Sol takes 1.1M against 1M — modestly more room in a single request.
- Input price
- DeepSeek V4.1-Flash at $0.15/M against $2/M — 13.3× cheaper to feed. Standard rates: one of these labs also quotes a lower cached-input tier, which applies only when a prefix is reused — see the full spec below.
- Output price
- DeepSeek V4.1-Flash at $0.6/M against $10/M — 16.7× cheaper to generate. Output dominates the bill on most agentic workloads, where the model writes far more than it reads.
- Weights
- DeepSeek V4.1-Flash publishes weights (MIT (open-weight)); GPT-6 Sol is API-only. That decides self-hosting, air-gapped deployment and fine-tuning before any capability question does.
- Recency
- GPT-6 Sol shipped 12 days after DeepSeek V4.1-Flash (2026-09-22 vs 2026-09-10).
