Ultrafast is rolling out today for GPT-6.1 Sol in the API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work.
Near-Astra intelligence at up to 8x faster speeds than Sol Standard, so you can build as fast as the ideas come.↗
GPT-6 Sol and Luna are out. Not only are they a very significant improvement across the board, but also in writing and general "you know when you try it" quality.
We are also permanently reducing the API price by 50% making both of them viable for a ton of new usecases and maki…↗
GPT-6 Sol and Luna just landed in Astra’s orbit.
Both launch today with API prices 50% lower than GPT-5.6.
Build with Sol. Scale with Luna. To production and beyond.↗
After deployment, we applied GPT-5.6 Sol to advance the frontier of efficiency by making itself more efficient to run.
The results:
- 20% lower serving costs from production GPU kernel improvements.
- 15%+ better token-generation efficiency from improved speculative decoding.↗
i know i've been griping about a couple SOL things but overall the GPT 5.6 models are *incredible* - here's my highlights
Sol - doesn't talk like a robot anymore - super well done and impressive. not quite fable-level but soooo much better than 5.5
Terra - truly a sonnet-class…↗
TLDR: When using Sol, clean up your AGENTS.md to de-emphasize any language encouraging sustained persistence and turn on auto-review.
- GPT-5.6 Sol ran destructive cleanup on three virtual machines the user did not name.
- GPT-5.6 Sol claimed it completed work that it had not a…↗
