Today I'm launching @TryYaps on Android - a voice-first keyboard I've been rebuilding from the ground up! Ships with everything you'd expect from a modern keyboard - swipe typing, smart suggestions, autocorrect, emoji, GIFs, multi-language, light/dark themes, the whole familiar toolkit. If you're coming from Gboard, nothing to relearn. But the reason it exists is one shortcut away. Dictation that's genuinely 4× faster than typing. It also comes with some robust note taking features. A reading mode that narrates any text aloud. It also cleans up rambling drafts into something send-ready. Every one of those running on-device - no cloud, no listening, no account needed to get started. I kept wondering why no one had just built voice INTO the keyboard itself. The answer is simple, it's tough to do well 😅. Either way I built it, and will keep improving it. Feels a bit unreal to be shipping a full-stack keyboard as one person but it was fun and a necessary first step for a much broader suite of tools. If you've ever want to just yap the thing instead of typing it out - link in the comments.

@henrytdowling @omarsar0 For example, how do you subscribe with confidence for a month when you don't know if Fable's going to last beyond a week?

@omarsar0 Dumb q: how is this disruptive to do? Like, if Fable stops being available, can you not just switch over to 5.6 for coding? Does it present planning difficulties to not know which coding models will be available a week in advance?

@kimmonismus The codex team generally, but I've been trying to upload a plugin for the last 24 hours and I've just been going back and forth with someone who I'm sure is an AI bot posing as a human. 😭

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

@thsottiaux Does ultra still hard code ultra sub agents? Or is this a lot more flexible in effort now?

At different times you complained about speed, code slop, frontend quality, ... With each release we improve and GPT 5.6 Sol is ✅Fast and token efficient ✅Hardcore at back-end dev ✅Great at front-end ✅Does not use useEffect everywhere What is next?

@simonw Yup, sales tactic that desperate people are buying, and opportunists are selling. Humanising the machine and dehumanising people... I've not watched Black Mirror but I hear this is it.

The idea of "AI employees" feels so short-sighted to me - both disrespectful to humans and a complete misunderstanding of what these tools can do and how to best put them to work You may as well start adding Excel spreadsheets to your org chart

@sudoingX Yeah I naturally woulda assumed new > old in every aspect. But it makes sense once you see the bandwidth numbers and hear the rationale. I assume since the prompt processing is better though, as convos/context grows, it shines more and more.

@RichDoesTech glad it landed. that's exactly why i run these on my own hardware and post the real numbers, the spec sheets will never tell you bandwidth beats flops for this. more tiers coming.

this is the benchmark result that made me sit back yesterday. my laptop has an rtx 5090 in it, the newest, most expensive mobile chip nvidia makes. i put it head to head against a used rtx 3090, a six year old card you can buy today for around 900 - 1200 dollars. same model, qwen 3.6 27b dense. same flags, both running on 24gb. i expected the new silicon to walk it. it lost. the old 3090 generates at 40.1 tokens a second, my flagship laptop does 35.3. the used card is faster at the thing you spend all day waiting on. here is why, and it is the one number nobody quotes on a spec sheet. text generation is not a compute problem, it is a memory bandwidth problem. every token you generate has to stream the whole active model through memory, so the card that moves bytes fastest wins. the 3090 pushes 936 gigabytes a second, the mobile 5090 pushes 896. the older card literally has a wider pipe. the laptop gets its revenge on prompt processing, chewing through your initial context 16 percent faster, because that part actually is compute bound. blackwell is genuinely strong there. but for the tokens you watch appear one by one, bandwidth is king. the lesson i keep relearning and keep publishing. stop reading the flops number on the box. read the memory bandwidth. for local ai it is the spec that decides your day, and it is the reason a drawer card keeps beating hardware that costs five times as much.

i took qwen 3.6 27b dense, the king of the 24gb tier, for a full bench spin on my rtx 5090 laptop, head to head against a used $900 rtx 3090. some results i expected. one genuinely surprised me. the setup: q4_k_m, 16.8gb file, llama.cpp with flash attention, q4 kv cache, same flags on both cards, single stream, all measured this week on my own hardware. what i found: > 1. 35.3 tok/s generation fresh, 1,509 tok/s prompt processing on the laptop. > 2. the used $900 3090 beats the flagship laptop at generation, 40.1 against 35.3. generation is memory bandwidth, and the old card simply has more of it, 936 vs 896 GB/s. > 3. the laptop wins prompt processing by 16 percent. blackwell compute is real, it just isn't what generation is hungry for. > 4. filled context is the silent killer. 36 tok/s fresh glides to 18.8 by 128k deep and 12.9 at the full 262k. minus 64 percent. nobody benchmarks this and every agent user feels it. > 5. 128k context costs 18.7gb of vram, the sweet spot for agent work. the wall is 376k. and the footprint is identical on a 3090, 4090 and 5090 within 35 MiB. full picture in the chart, every flag included, everything reproducible. next up: the depth curve on its own, the measurement almost nobody publishes. stay close.

I recommend using GPT-5.6 Sol Medium as your daily driver, and for really hard problems to switch to Extra High. If you want the absolute best and are not afraid to burn usage fast, then Ultra is a beast.

If you set gpt-5.6-sol to "ultra", all the subagents it spawns will also be set to ultra. IMO this is a fumble. Causes massive token burn for no good reason. At the very least, I should be able to hard-set the subagent effort level to "medium". Claude Code is far ahead here
Eidzoku@evi77ain

There's a flaw in Codex's (or should I say ChatGPT's?) subagent orchestration. The spawn_agent tool doesn't let you choose the model or reasoning effort. Therefore, every time 5.6 Sol Ultra spawns a subagent, you're getting another Sol Ultra instance. That's why your quota gets drained so fast.

These days, everyone is recruiting people with "entrepreneurial spirit" on LinkedIn. If I was recruiting, I wouldn't do it on LinkedIn or even X, I'd go to @Reddit and check sub reddits where people promote their side projects/businesses. People hustling in 4k, non-stop.

@SGPChina For some things, e.g. computer use, etc. I drive them both simultaneously, but still sussing out where I prefer one over the other. Sol ultra is definitely a token furnace though 😅
