i'd love to see interesting things people have built with 5.6 sol. i will send the person who made the coolest thing a special gift from the openai archives.

Okay, it's time. GPT-5.6-Sol reaction thread. Go.

some tips on 5.6 sol: 1. remove old slop. try disabling certain community skills and plugins, especially bundles with 20+ skills. think of 5.6 sol like someone who just grew from senior to staff or senior staff level: prescriptive guidance that used to help becomes micromanagement and makes the work worse. you can always add back what clearly helps. 2. turn on codex memory in settings. give codex feedback on what you like and don’t like, and ask it to remember. 3. you probably don’t need ultra. i do 95% of my work on sol high, sometimes use sol extra high, and have only used sol ultra for a handful of sessions. start with high and only move *up* when you’re not happy with the result.

OpenAI has reduced GPT-5.6 Sol's thinking budgets in an effort to make the model more efficient They essentially bumped everyone's reasoning down by 1... so if you were running Sol Extra High, you now have to set it to Max to get the same effort So we basically don't have Max reasoning anymore, how do you feel about these changes? 🤔

Morning. The last 48 hours of Codex and ChatGPT Work have been intense! Three important updates: - Temporarily removing the 5 hour usage limit restriction for all Plus, Business and Pro plans - Rolling out changes that will make GPT 5.6 Sol more efficient across the board and that will be reflected in less usage being used so that it can take you further. Exact impact to be quantified and shared - We hit 6M active users, and are landing a usage reset in the next hour Go do things

I had early access to 5.6/Sol for ~month. Sol is my default. It is faster, plans/judges just as good as Fable, and I think produces better overall work. I’ll reach for Fable still for highly targeted debug or performance work with clear reward functions. A cheeky way I describe Sol vs Fable to my friends is that Sol is a charismatic, efficient, talented coworker you’re jealous of. Fable is a genius recluse that is brilliant at its fixations but doesn’t go out, doesn’t date, and you don’t want to hang out with them much lol. Fable is undefeated at highly targeted debug/security/performance goals. It’s a sight to behold and I was never able to get Sol to push as hard in this category. I’ll keep using it for this. Sol is better or comparable at everything else, in my experience. Give it a shot, it’s hard to describe but it’s just more enjoyable to work with. (Disclaimer I have no financial ties to either lab, wasn’t paid for any of this.)

I've been waiting for a new CRM that is AI first Has someone built this yet? Agents that dedup, research, etc. What makes it great?
