@ElainaNotes I think GPT-6 is almost definitely dropping tomorrow. There’s no way OpenAI is going to let Claude hold a major lead for a week or more. The competition is just way too intense right now.
I use Codex for three core projects: a colorectal-cancer analysis/manuscript pipeline, a gut multi-omics study with internally validated models and figures, and a reproducible strategy research/backtesting platform. Upgrading to GPT-5.6 Sol dramatically accelerated all three.
