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.

mark_k argues OpenAI is short on GPU capacity right now, so GPT-6 Sol is likely a smaller model replacing Terra to relieve inference load, which explains its lackluster performance.

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.

The author, who has built FPS demos and generated nearly 100 FPS videos, says the demo is AI-generated video passed off as gameplay and asks for the real Unreal project and a live control demo, noting credits are sold in the replies.

andonlabs reran Blueprint-Bench for GPT-6 Sol and Luna because of an OpenAI bug: Sol improved slightly while Luna made a large jump, with score charts included.

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.

A tipster says GPT-6 Sol is still being developed for Chat mode as fast as possible, that the version in ChatGPT Work, Codex and Text Arena may not be the final checkpoint for conversation, and that current benchmarks shouldn't be treated as final.

A Japanese post says Sol and Luna had a bug that degraded image understanding and that it has been fixed, noting Browse and Computer Use tasks were also affected, which may explain weaker benchmark results.

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.

A leaker speculates astra-minor is a distilled Astra that could fill the pricing gap between GPT-6 Sol ($2/$10) and Astra ($10/$50), competing with Opus 5.5 at $4/$20.
