GPT-6 Sol leaks, screenshots and release rumors

A video creator says GPT-6 Sol and Luna perform poorly and Astra is expensive and not much smarter, while a $20 Claude subscription rebuilt his video framework into something better.

This user says GPT-6 Sol handles hard problems with less reasoning than 5.6 needed and grinds away steadily, possibly thanks to its pragmatic, robot-like personality.

TokenGremlin criticizes OpenAI's response to a wave of friendly negative feedback and hopes it pushes GPT-6 Sol to improve before it reaches Chat mode.

In the same slide-making task, GPT-6 Sol used 388 credits, Astra 3,615, Opus 5.5 351 and Sonnet 5 306, prompting the author to suggest using expensive models to define workflows and cheap ones to run them at scale.

A leak claims Sonnet 5.5 launches tomorrow at 2 PM New York time, slightly beats GPT-6 Sol in early testing, nears Opus 5.5 in capability at a lower price, and already has a model tag.

The author argues GPT-6 Sol and Luna were modest upgrades but good value, until Opus 5.5 shipped the same day with a big jump and made Sol look worse than it actually was.

A developer used GPT-6 Sol, Codex and Three.js to turn a 2020 craft cluster trip to Jaipur into an interactive fictional neighborhood, with a live demo online.

An internal writing benchmark found higher reasoning effort generally gives modest gains at about 2.5x the cost, and GPT-6 Sol at max beats Astra while cheaper and faster.

The author breaks down an Axios report, noting seven anonymous sources, no stated whistleblower motive, and timing that coincides with the same-day releases of Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol/Luna.

A heavy OpenAI user thinks the Sol launch felt rushed and the model underperforms, suspecting it is cheaper because it is essentially a downgraded 5.6.

A screenshot shows GPT-5.6 Sol around rank 19 and GPT-6 Sol around rank 60, which the author reads as a clear regression in ordinary conversation despite gains in coding and agentic work.

The user argues GPT-6 Sol should have been called GPT-5.7 Sol, says Opus 5.5 already outclasses it, and calls it a bad look for OpenAI.
