OK, GPT-5.6 Luna is a bit of a beast. Given the 80% price drop today I decided to try it in Datasette Agent, and it's furiously quick and generates all the SQL, HTML and JavaScript (for Datasette Apps) I could possibly want

[Adam Holter @AdamHoltererer]

Luna is a RIDICULOUSLY good deal right now!

[leo @nova_rizzzz]

@thsottiaux That sounds like everyday, must have pretty strong models there

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

we've cut prices on luna by 80%, making it by far the most price-efficient model in its class.

a lot of our research is about how to create incredibly efficient models for any given level of intelligence.

excited to see what you all do with intelligence too cheap to meter!

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

luna is a thing of beauty, incredibly capable and low-cost

[Max Weinbach @mweinbach]

This is truly insane and no open/chinese model competes with this at all

I just swapped a few workflows and agents to this. Absolutely killer pricing.

Build the tool to build the tool. Repeat.

@iruletheworldmo I've always liked Sam, they get my 20 bucks a month that's for sure.

@theo Gpt 5.6 sol is the goat of this generation of models

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

GPT-5.6 Sol for improving production serving efficiency. One of the ways we're able to get such great price-performance:

Almost every single person @every is freaking out about how good voice mode in ChatGPT for Work is

Have not seen vibes this high in a while. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

lol did nobody at Anthropic stop for a second and wonder why the numbers looked this absurd before posting the “victory”-tweet?

Hello people of Sol! I've reset usage limits for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Together with that, a quick update on GPT-5.6 Sol usage limits.

Over the past few weeks, many of you have told us that Sol was using your Codex limits faster than expected. To be clear, we have not reduced usage on any subscription plans.

We’ve been digging into what was happening and have landed several improvements. As a result, we expect your usage to last around 18% longer during typical use of Sol. Some of you should already see significantly larger improvements from today. Tomorrow, we’ll also restore the five-hour limit that we temporarily paused while investigating.

Here’s what we found:
- GPT-5.6 Sol is much more willing to work for longer, make additional tool calls, and coordinate complex workflows across tools and subagents. That makes it better at solving hard problems, but some tasks were using far more than we intended.
- Sol also works harder at the same reasoning effort than previous models. High on Sol can use more tokens than High did on GPT-5.5.
- Programmatic tool calling, also referred to as code mode, gives Sol much more flexibility to run tool calls in parallel or continue working while waiting. But it also led to more responses per turn, more cached input tokens, and higher usage than expected.
- This was particularly noticeable when Sol was waiting for tool calls to finish or running many web searches. We’ve improved how we handle both cases and are continuing to make code mode more efficient.
- The impact was also very uneven. The median user actually found Sol quite token efficient, while some power users working on harder tasks saw their usage drain much faster. We were very focused on average and median usage before launch and missed some cases where the long tail could use significantly more usage.

Sol is a significant step forward in what Codex can do, but capability and efficiency do not always improve at the same pace, and some issues only become clear once people are using the model at real-world scale. We should have recognized this sooner and been more upfront about it.

You keep pushing the frontier and we’ll keep improving efficiency and sharing updates as we go.

@Mkleosb GOAT CHECK YOUR DMs 💰

[leo @nova_rizzzz]

@mark_k I'm so tired of anthropic lol

[Jin @jin_withanx]

the fact that some ult players had the audacity to be calling "acola" or "doramigi" the goat

[leo @nova_rizzzz]

@LiquidHbox @LBE_Savant Nah. I thnk people saying acola is the goat don't remember the utter dominance mkleo had. Not only in winning, but the way he did it. With elegance and brilliance I've yet to see from another player. Only tweek at his best and spargo at his best come cls

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

@theo Come back to papa Sol

[Dan Shipper 📧 @danshipper]

i spent the morning writing the definitive history of codex on my couch

it comes from hours of in-depth interviews with the team including @thsottiaux, @ajambrosino, and @gdb

my hands didn’t touch the keyboard or mouse once …i did the whole thing, including organizing the interviews, building a timeline, writing, editing, and revising via ChatGPT for Work’s voice mode

absolutely goated for creative work.

whole piece will be published on @every in a few weeks
