OpenAI has made Ultrafast mode available for the model GPT-6.1 Sol in the Responses API. It is available to all API users, and its use is subject to rate limits, which limit the number of requests and tokens processed. According to OpenAI, the mode shortens the intervals between generated output tokens.

The mode is enabled by using the identifier `gpt-6.1-sol` and the parameter `service_tier: "ultrafast"`. It supports global processing as well as data residency in the USA and EU. Pricing details are available through the pricing link in the source article.

What changed

Why it matters

Shorter delays between tokens may help applications that display a response as it is generated. Businesses can take the supported data residency in the USA and EU into account when deploying; usage remains subject to rate limits.
