Rumor: the release is Sol 6.1 Ultrafast, not GPT-6.1 Astra
The post claims the product OpenAI's team was hyping is actually Sol 6.1 Ultrafast, that Astra 6.1 is not coming, and doubts it can compete with Opus 5.5 and others.

GPT-6.1 Astra is not coming out after all. Sol 6.1 Ultrafast was the product being hyped by the OpenAI team. I don’t know why anyone would be excited for this release. Sure Sol is slow but who would want to pay $500 a month to make it faster. It looks like Fable 5.5, Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 will not have competition anytime soon.
