  • OpenAI reportedly tests GPT-6 Sol variant, 6x faster than Astra

    According to a leaked benchmark, OpenAI is internally testing GPT-6 Sol, a variant of the recently released Astra that is faster but weaker in overall output. In a test generating an SVG of a BMW M4 Competition, Sol took about 3 minutes and produced roughly 28,000 tokens, while Astra took about 19 minutes for 25,000 tokens. OpenAI also disclosed that its researchers on average have three agent workdays running per day and that "automated research interns" can complete tasks that would otherwise take researchers days.
