    > GPT‑6.1 Sol matches GPT‑6 Astra at roughly one-fifth of the cost

    Astra is a pretty impressive model. Excited to try this.

      They have also cut allowances for subscriptions in half. So even in the best case scenario it's about 2.5 times cheaper for Codex users. They just seem to have matched Claude Sonnet 5.5 *API pricing*, but from what I see online, it seems Claude Code now has a much more generous subscription allowance.

        Only for the $100 subscription, correct?

          Only for the $200 one. The $100 one was already pretty poor value for allowance/$. Without the old $200 sub, I wouldn't have used Codex.
