The verdict
For a sample job of 1 million input tokens and 250,000 output tokens, Command A+ costs $0.68 and GPT-6 Sol costs $4.50, so Command A+ is about 6.7 times cheaper for the same work.
GPT-6 Sol reads up to 1,050,000 tokens at once, roughly 1,575 pages of text, against about 288 pages for Command A+.
Across the 20 tasks where they differ, Command A+ scores higher on 17 (SQL Generation, Code Review, Code Completion and others), GPT-6 Sol on 3 (Code Refactoring, Code Documentation, Long-Document Summarization).
Pick Command A+ if you need lower cost or the stronger all-round task scores; pick GPT-6 Sol if you need long documents.
Costs use current list prices per million tokens; page counts assume about 0.75 words per token and 500 words per page.
