Claims that GPT-6 Sol beats Astra across the board are doubted
A user pushes back on rumors that GPT-6 Sol beats Astra at nearly everything, costs less and counts as a 0.2-level jump, saying something is clearly off.
And to think there was a guy out there saying GPT-6 Sol would beat Astra at basically everything, cost less, and somehow count as a full “0.2” jump in the GPT-6.x line. Guys, AI is moving faster than any of us can realistically keep up with, but some claims are just... come on. Even a blind guy could read that and think, “yeah, something’s off here.”
That couldn’t really happen in any scenario, because the model being released was GPT-6 Sol, and it would naturally be compared to GPT-6 Astra. If it were GPT-6.1 Sol, 6.2 Sol, or 6.5 Sol, then you’d be right. But since it had the “same number” as the current Astra version, it could NEVER realistically be better than the flagship model of the family, you know? Anthropic works the same way. They didn’t launch Opus 5 as something better than Fable 5. They launched Opus “5.5” as something better than Fable “5.1”, and now Fable “5.5” is expected to be better than Opus “5.5”. Hope that made sense, hahahah.
