    OpenAI’s New Ultrafast Mode Runs GPT-5.6 at 14x Speed

    OpenAI just gave a preview of something called Ultrafast, and the number attached to it is kind of wild. It runs their GPT-5.6 Sol model up to 14 times faster than the standard version, hitting up to 750 tokens a second. That’s one of the biggest jumps in raw response speed we’ve seen from a…

    OpenAI Built an AI That Finds Hacks Before Hackers Do

    OpenAI just gave a small group of vetted security teams access to an AI model built to hack like a professional, and to defend like one too. GPT-5.6-Cyber is a version of GPT-5.6 Sol trained specifically for security work, exploit chains, privilege escalation, memory corruption, the stuff real attackers use. In OpenAI’s own internal testing…

    OpenAI split GPT-5.6 into three distinct models, each built for a different job. Sol is the powerhouse. Terra is the balanced workhorse. Luna is the fast, cheap option. Sol hits SOTA on reasoning benchmarks. Terra delivers GPT-5.5 performance at half the cost. Luna gets the job done for a dollar per million input tokens. The…

    OpenAI’s Three-Tier Model Arrives

    OpenAI just released GPT-5.6 in limited preview, and the strategy is clear: stop thinking of one model, start thinking of a portfolio built for real work. Three tiers. Sol handles the hard reasoning tasks, the kind where you throw a 50-page legal contract or a quantum simulation at it and need answers that hold up.…
