GPT-6 Sol has a lower published API list price. The half-price comparison refers to standard short-context API input and output list rates, not subscriptions or cost per finished task. But which one should you use for your own work?\n\ni look at the launches, the chart, cost per task, and one Sol miss in my own Notion planning. Then i show how to set up a five-task test for the jobs you actually do. i have not run Opus 5.5 or scored BuilderBench yet, so this episode does not pick a real-work winner.\n\ntry this prompt:\nhelp me build a small benchmark for the work I actually do. Ask for my five recurring tasks. Turn each into one repeatable brief with a useful finished output, checks I can perform, and the time and cost to record. Mark what is still untested.\n\nThreadify, my own software, sponsors this episode. It helps you find potential leads in the replies to your Threads posts.
