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 Japanese-language morning roundup covers several AI developments, including a fix for an image understanding bug in GPT-6 Sol and Luna and a reset of usage limits.

A hands-on comparison video has Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol each complete a Premiere Pro editing task to see which model handles real software better.

A long post argues that GPT-6 Sol's half-price launch still didn't bring developers back, since what matters is subscription allowance rather than unit price, and DevDay is unlikely to turn it around.

banteg says Opus 5.5 solved an 1,800-line player_update function, after over 100 agent-hours since July, including 50 hours from gpt-5.6-sol and 20 from gpt-6-astra.

A comparison post says Sonnet 5.5 performs far better than GPT-6 Sol, and that only Astra 6.1 can save OpenAI from humiliation.

A post says a claude-sonnet-5-5 model ID has been spotted, with early tests claiming it beats GPT-6 Sol, comes close to Opus 5.5 and costs less.

A poster says Opus 5.5 is cheaper and smarter than Astra, GPT-6 Sol trails too far in raw intelligence to win on price, and DevDay is OpenAI's last chance to keep subscribers.

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.

The author tested several models on a network scanner dashboard task, found GPT-6 Luna MAX the only complete failure, and suspects GPT-6 Sol is a regression from 5.6 Sol.

The post claims Opus 5.5 launched the same day as GPT-6 Sol and Luna, and that a new Sonnet 5.5 checkpoint is reportedly set for next Tuesday, the same day as OpenAI DevDay, to steal attention.

The author shows Codex (GPT-6 Sol) using tmux capture-pane to peek at Opus 5.5's progress and tmux send-keys to talk to it, and taking over unfinished work when Claude runs out of tokens.
