gpt-6 sol launching this week would make a lot of sense. > it gives users a cheaper and faster alternative to astra. > oai can counter opus 5.2 with sol. > it can potentially free up some astra inference capacity. especially while openai is already dealing with enough demand to pause new $200 pro signups.
