01 — Verdict

Too close to call

It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 2 points (Muse Spark 1.3 73/100, GPT-6.1 Sol 72/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GPT-6.1 Sol for raw capability and Muse Spark 1.3 on price. The score weighs capability 50%, price 25%, inputs & features 15%, context window 10%. Capability uses the average of shared benchmarks (FrontierMath Tiers 1–3 and OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025), because GPT-6.1 Sol has no Capabilities Index score yet.

04 — Questions

Which should you choose?

Which is better: Muse Spark 1.3 or GPT-6.1 Sol?

It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 2 points (Muse Spark 1.3 73/100, GPT-6.1 Sol 72/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GPT-6.1 Sol for raw capability and Muse Spark 1.3 on price. The score weighs capability 50%, price 25%, inputs & features 15%, context window 10%. Capability uses the average of shared benchmarks (FrontierMath Tiers 1–3 and OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025), because GPT-6.1 Sol has no Capabilities Index score yet.

Which is cheaper, Muse Spark 1.3 or GPT-6.1 Sol?

Muse Spark 1.3 is cheaper at $1.25 input / $4.25 output per million tokens (official Meta API price). GPT-6.1 Sol costs $2.00 input / $10.00 output per million tokens (official OpenAI API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $2.00 per million tokens for Muse Spark 1.3 versus $4.00 for GPT-6.1 Sol (2× as much).

Which scores higher on benchmarks?

Not every model here has a Capabilities Index score, so we compare the average of shared benchmarks (FrontierMath Tiers 1–3 and OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025): GPT-6.1 Sol 96.8% and Muse Spark 1.3 86.8%. On individual benchmarks: FrontierMath Tiers 1–3 — GPT-6.1 Sol 93.7%, Muse Spark 1.3 74.4%; OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 — GPT-6.1 Sol 100%, Muse Spark 1.3 99.2%.

Which is better for coding?

There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Muse Spark 1.3 and GPT-6.1 Sol yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. On overall capability, GPT-6.1 Sol leads, which tends to carry over to coding, but test on your own codebase. Both support tool calling for agent workflows.

Which has the bigger context window?

Their context windows are effectively the same size: Muse Spark 1.3 1,048,576 and GPT-6.1 Sol 1,050,000 tokens. Maximum output per response: Muse Spark 1.3 up to 131,072, GPT-6.1 Sol up to 128,000 tokens.

Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?

Muse Spark 1.3 accepts text, images, PDFs, audio and video; GPT-6.1 Sol accepts text, images and PDFs. Muse Spark 1.3 handles the widest range of inputs.

Are any of these open source?

No. Muse Spark 1.3 and GPT-6.1 Sol are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.

Which is newer?

GPT-6.1 Sol is the newest, released Sep 29, 2026. Muse Spark 1.3 came out Sep 2, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: GPT-6.1 Sol Apr 30, 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 Oct 4, 2026.
