"Provides 1,400 visas annually for Chileans and 5,400 visas annually for Singaporeans, counted separately from the H-1B visa cap"

"Of the 65,000 visas allocated to the capped H-1B visa program, the amount of 6,800 are reserved for use for the H-1B1: 1,400 for Chile and 5,400 for Singapore."

Counted separately but included in the overall cap.

Another interesting difference is that H1B1 seems to not be dual intent, contrary to H1B. Definitely not the panacea that was hinted at in this thread.
