GPT-6 Sol in Chat is great if your main problem was a lack of colored boxes

long story short because there was an essay here. — sike — GPT — summarized — that — too 5.5/5.6 were actually useful work models for me in Chat. I’d dump context, structure prompts for Codex, let them reason through stuff, and because they could get pretty damn verbose, I’d just keep the conversation going and use Chat to summarize and organize the mess 6 Sol feels like they found a way to keep Chat “unlimited” while making it barely useful for serious work colors, annotations, APPROVED, DONE, little visual stuff everywhere... cool. I just need it to hold context and structure a proper thought even with Thinking, sometimes it feels like it starts from some instant first take and then spends the rest of the answer following that direction. if the first assumption is wrong, you start getting contradictions and have to make it re-check everything from scratch 5.6 used to actually sit there and think. and lately even that feels nerfed. stuff that could take 7–10 minutes inspecting a zip or working through something now seems allergic to going much past \~3 min I already use Codex for the heavy lifting and I’m happy to pay for that. I just don’t want Chat itself to become the pretty colorful front-end that I can’t trust for basically anything serious, even just checking data or information hopefully whatever 6.1-based thing eventually lands in Chat brings some of that back You’re out of Codex and Work usage Your rate limit resets at 5:02 AM.
