Forum Voices

Users are excited about the potential of GPT-5.6 Sol, but some are skeptical about the forced upgrade path.

Easily the most interesting part of this announcement is buried in the second to last paragraph: ‘We’re also launching GPT‑5.6 Sol on Cerebras at up to 750 tokens per second in July, bringing frontier intelligence to customers at unprecedented speed. Access will initially be limited to select customers as we expand capacity.’ 750 tokens/s on a frontier model is going to be extremely interesting.

Others are concerned about the cost and the need to upgrade to newer models.

Here is a trend I’m noticing: – GPT-5 mini costs $0.25/$2 and will be discontinued in December. – GPT-5.4 mini costs $0.75/$4.5 and is supposed to be the replacement. – GPT-5.4 nano costs $0.2/$1.25 and, while it ranks better in benchmarks than GPT-5 mini, it’s not even close when you test it in real scenarios.

Code Writing Capabilities

Some users are excited about the potential of GPT-5.6 Sol to write code, with one user saying:

I think GPT writes code the best. How well will it write in version 5.6? It gives me chills. Recently, I went head-to-head with GPT on nearly 2,000 lines of code, and GPT’s solution was superior and faster.
