sol is $4 / $20
Can expect 2.5x more usage in Codex subscription.
Sol is already brutal (even after their recent fixes, it's just a token-hungry model: I go through a full 20x account per day, on Sol Med/High standard speed, with ~2 threads). I hope the efficiency gains are true, since their token efficiency claims for Sol were bullshit.
Performance is significantly higher than Fable 5.1

The launch was scheduled for 11am Pacific time.
The press embargo broke at 11am, and we saw a flurry of press articles by Axios, TechCrunch et al.
The model has appeared on the ChatGPT API.
But the official blog post is not out yet after nearly an hour.
Apparently the article was posted then quickly taken down, hence there are snippets of information coming out.
But it hasn't.
The OpenAI Responses API now returns a 404 Not Found for "gpt-6-astra", where garbage/actually non-existent slugs return 400s - a 404 is also returned for 5.6 Cyber, which we know exists.
