Head-to-head comparison
o3 Pro (OpenAI) and Solar Pro 4 (Upstage) compared on the ModelCap Index, API price, context window, provider availability, weight access and every public benchmark board they share. Figures are the same ones shown on the live rankings; nothing here is a hidden score.
Snapshot as of 17 August 2026
As of 17 August 2026, Solar Pro 4 holds the stronger ModelCap Index position (#52 vs #54); Solar Pro 4 is 666.7× cheaper per output token ($0.12/1M vs $80.00/1M); and Solar Pro 4 offers the longer context window (524K vs 200K tokens).
Evidence: 1 public benchmark observation across 1 board · 4 public benchmark observations across 4 boards. Prices are the lowest listed API offer per million tokens observed on the OpenRouter catalogue.
Scores are the sources' own published figures for each model's best evaluated configuration; ModelCap never re-runs a benchmark.

Solar Pro 4 ranks higher on the ModelCap Index as of 17 August 2026: #52 against #54. That is a capability ranking built from public benchmark evidence with published uncertainty; whether it is "better" for you also depends on price, context and where you can run it.
Solar Pro 4 is cheaper on output tokens: $0.12/1M against $80.00/1M. Input tokens are $20.00/1M for o3 Pro and $0.03/1M for Solar Pro 4. Prices are the lowest listed API offer ModelCap observed, in USD per million tokens.
Solar Pro 4 has the larger context window: 524K tokens against 200K.
The two models do not share a coding benchmark board on ModelCap yet, so no head-to-head coding score is published; the ModelCap Index position is the closest overall signal.
o3 Pro: API only. Solar Pro 4: API only. Open weights mean the checkpoint can be downloaded and self-hosted under its licence; API-only models are available solely through hosted endpoints.
ModelCap currently lists 1 API provider for o3 Pro and 1 for Solar Pro 4, from the OpenRouter catalogue snapshot the site serves; each model page lists the providers and their prices.
Every figure comes from the sealed ModelCap dataset published 17 August 2026; the page re-renders within a minute of each data refresh, and the ModelCap Index positions are the same ones shown on the live rankings.
