Seems I was too quick to judge GPT-5.6. In the end I've got to come up with an entirely new construction, not following the footsteps of GPT 5.2, 5.4, 5.5. The Erdos Problem I had used for testing is #421 (link below) and it's about constructing a sequence with distinct products and density 1. The construction that looks promising is a greedy construction, but it turns out it's a nightmare for bookkeeping. GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra came up with a different construction - "gap-greedy" - focusing on primes. This seems to vastly simplify the argument. I post the link to the solution claim below.


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? 🤔

Even though Codex says its context window is only 272K tokens, I feel like it actually remembers everything I said in a session. I'm using only one session for the past 2 weeks and it remembers stuff in the session way better than I do. 🤯
