Choosing between GPT-6.1 Sol (Max) and Muse Wonder (Max) also means choosing between OpenAI and Meta. The headline gap is on the intelligence index, where GPT-6.1 Sol Max scores 54.6 and Muse Wonder Max 43.6. The figures come from tracked catalogue data, not from our own testing, so treat them as a starting point for a trial on your tasks.

Overall capability: 11.0 points apart

GPT-6.1 Sol Max comes out ahead on the intelligence index, 54.6 to 43.6. A difference this size usually separates one tier of model from the next.

Across the 109 active models with an intelligence score in the catalogue, GPT-6.1 Sol Max ranks 8th and Muse Wonder Max ranks 28th.

The catalogue does not yet split either model's score into coding and math indexes.

Muse Wonder Max is the faster writer

GPT-6.1 Sol Max generates about 60 tokens per second and Muse Wonder Max about 134 tokens per second. Muse Wonder Max is ahead by 126% on throughput. The wait for the first token averages 5.4 minutes on GPT-6.1 Sol Max against 26 seconds on Muse Wonder Max. In an interactive app, Muse Wonder Max will feel noticeably more responsive. Waits that long are felt on every chat-style request, though they matter less for batch jobs.

Put together, a 2,000-token answer would take about 6.0 minutes from GPT-6.1 Sol Max and 41 seconds from Muse Wonder Max, counting the first-token wait.

Which is newer

The release dates are September 29, 2026 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and October 12, 2026 for Muse Wonder Max, 13 days apart. They are effectively contemporaries.

Running costs

The list prices are $2.00 in and $10.00 out for GPT-6.1 Sol Max, and $4.00 in and $20.00 out for Muse Wonder Max, per million tokens. Muse Wonder Max costs twice as much per output token.

A reference job of 1 million input tokens and 200,000 output tokens costs $4.00 with GPT-6.1 Sol Max and $8.00 with Muse Wonder Max, so GPT-6.1 Sol Max saves $4.00. Scale it up to a chat app with 50,000 sessions of 800 input and 300 output tokens and the bill is $230 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max against $460 for Muse Wonder Max. Blended at three input tokens per output token, the effective rates are $4.00 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and $8.00 for Muse Wonder Max.

Is the price in proportion?

Dividing the blended price by the intelligence index gives a rough cost per point: $0.073 for GPT-6.1 Sol Max and $0.18 for Muse Wonder Max, per million tokens. GPT-6.1 Sol Max scores higher and costs less per point, so on price per point there is nothing to trade off.
