GPT-6 Sol leaks, screenshots and release rumors

A leak claims Sonnet 5.5 will launch tomorrow at 2 PM New York time, is in its final stages, slightly beats GPT-6 Sol in early testing, comes close to Opus 5.5 in capability but cheaper, and a claude-sonnet-5-5 model tag has already appeared.

A post says claude-sonnet-5-5 has surfaced in Factory Droid, with rumors of a launch tomorrow and early tests beating GPT-6 Sol.

A Japanese post reports OpenAI has fixed a bug that degraded visual tasks in GPT-6 Sol and Luna, improving accuracy via API, Codex, and Computer Use at no extra cost.

An OpenAI staffer says an image encoding bug that degraded image understanding in GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna has been fixed, and invites users to try it that day.

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.

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 weekly AI recap covers GPT-6 Sol and Luna launching the same day as Claude Opus 5.5, API pricing 50 percent below GPT-5.6 promo rates, plus OpenAI math claims, misalignment incidents and other news.

Anthropic said at the Opus 5.5 launch that Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 would follow within weeks, leakers point to Sept 30 or Oct 1, and the author says the circulating "Sonnet 5.5 beats GPT-6 Sol" screenshot is faked from old Sonnet 5 numbers.

AdamHoltererer lists DevDay predictions: GPT Live 2, GPT-Image 3, Astra 6.1, a Bel preview, and a 700 tokens-per-second ultrafast mode for GPT-6 Sol.

xAI cut prices first, then Anthropic and OpenAI followed, with Sol at $2 in and $10 out and Luna as low as 10 cents per million tokens, which the author reads as the intelligence race stalling into a race to the cheapest.

MiniMax's new model appeared quietly in MiniMax Code, and the author says it is very fast and posts a speed comparison against GPT-6 Sol at max reasoning.
