Which should you choose?
Which is better: GPT-6.1 Sol, Muse Wonder or Claude Sonnet 5.5?
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (GPT-6.1 Sol 72/100, Claude Sonnet 5.5 72/100, Muse Wonder 68/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GPT-6.1 Sol for raw capability. The score weighs capability 50%, price 25%, inputs & features 15%, context window 10%.
Which is cheaper, GPT-6.1 Sol, Muse Wonder or Claude Sonnet 5.5?
GPT-6.1 Sol is cheaper at $2.00 input / $10.00 output per million tokens (official OpenAI API price). Claude Sonnet 5.5 costs $2.00 input / $10.00 output per million tokens (official Anthropic API price); Muse Wonder costs $4.00 input / $20.00 output per million tokens (official Meta API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $4.00 per million tokens for GPT-6.1 Sol versus $4.00 for Claude Sonnet 5.5 (1× as much) and $8.00 for Muse Wonder (2× as much).

No. GPT-6.1 Sol, Muse Wonder and Claude Sonnet 5.5 are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.
Which is newer?
Muse Wonder is the newest, released Oct 12, 2026. GPT-6.1 Sol came out Sep 29, 2026; Claude Sonnet 5.5 came out Sep 28, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: GPT-6.1 Sol Apr 30, 2026, Claude Sonnet 5.5 Jun 2026.
How do you decide the winner?
Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Nov 2, 2026.
