Muse Spark Open vs GPT-6.1 Sol
How Muse Spark Open and GPT-6.1 Sol stack up across benchmarks, pricing, speed, and the workloads that matter.
Muse Spark Open
Meta · Open weights
GPT-6.1 Sol
OpenAI · Proprietary
Muse Spark Open is the cheaper of the two at $1.58 per million blended tokens, about 1.82x less than GPT-6.1 Sol at $2.89. On agents & tool use, Muse Spark Open leads by about 21 points in our normalized benchmark average.
The table below breaks down every workload axis where both models have published results. Each score is a normalized 0 to 1 average across the benchmarks tagged with that category. A gap of a few points is noise; a gap of ten or more is a real difference in capability. Where one model has not reported a result, the cell shows n/a and the missing benchmark does not drag its average down.

Benchmarks tell you what a model can do in a controlled setting. They do not tell you whether it will work on your specific task, with your specific data, at your specific scale. The recommendations below map each common workload to whichever of these two models scores higher on the relevant axis. Use them as a starting point, not a final answer.
