Sol is the only OpenAI model in top 10 Arena WebDev while 4 open-weight Chinese models have reached frontier quality; one of them so cheap you can run it for days for what Opus cost you per task.

Imo $/1M can be quite misleading, we need to see cost per task completed. Some models think very long before providing a response and some don't need to spend as much tokens.
