What breaks when you switch

GPT-6 Astra → GPT-6.1 Sol
Remove unsupported parameters›

With reasoning enabled, remove temperature, top_p and top_logprobs, plus Chat Completions logprobs or Responses message.output_text.logprobs includes.

Responses API for tool calling · Chat Completions›

Use Responses for tools; Chat Completions supports this model without tool calling.

No none or minimal reasoning›

The none and minimal reasoning efforts are unsupported; choose low, medium, high, xhigh or max.

More than 272K input tokens›

Prompts above 272K input tokens charge 2× input and cache rates and 1.5× output rates for the entire request.

Cache writes billed at 1.25x›

Cache writes cost 1.25× the uncached input token rate.

Ultrafast prices 6x Standard›

Ultrafast mode costs 6× Standard token prices.

GPT-6.1 Sol → GPT-6 Astra
Monitoring can return HTTP 403›

Misalignment monitoring can return HTTP 403 before streaming or errors after output; match misalignment_policy_violation and handle stream errors.

No none reasoning effort›

The none reasoning effort is unsupported on GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol; use low instead.

Remove unsupported sampling parameters›

When reasoning effort is not none, remove temperature, top_p and top_logprobs, plus Chat Completions logprobs or Responses output logprobs inclusion.
