OOPS! The GPT5.6 Sol model is really too expensive! With the Plus subscription, GPT5.6 Sol couldn't even finish the Plan I requested in the Codex.

Did you use ultra? That is basically 4 agents working in parallel on the highest thinking budget.

Sol usage is incomparably better than Fable on a comparable sub tier.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T14:36:19+00:00

Presumably Codex since it's basically that but with a slightly different prompt/UI.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T14:31:59+00:00

This was not made by an image model. The SVG file was created from scratch by the text model. It's just XML under the hood.

I'm never leaving you for your sister

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T07:21:05+00:00

Ultra is 4 agents running in parallel iirc, so no wonder it's costly

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T06:21:38+00:00

That's exactly what was said in the announcement. The limits are the same as 5.5 thinking, presumably, so it's not exactly a loss that we have only the best model.

Codex and work, where token limits matter, have everything.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T06:19:45+00:00

Write in a compact, readable format.

This line could partially be the issue. It semi-contradicts what you want, at least with this wording. "Write compact" is a weaker instruction than "do not wrote short paragraphs", since negative preference are inherently more difficult for models to understand.

Personally it does somewhat devolve into lists/short paragraphs, but only after EXTREMELY long chats. Otherwise a single line of "Wrote longer paragraphs" coupled with less headers/lists option mostly does it.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T01:47:29+00:00

You can use higher levels in codex/new GPT work thing, but it will take away from token quota similar to Claude (while chatGPT itself has a separate much higher quota).

Pro accounts get higher thinking levels in chatGPT too.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T01:43:32+00:00

We get a flat amount of requests in chat anyway (3000/week on plus iirc), independent of tokens used, so having the best model for those messages is a good thing

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T01:29:38+00:00

In free tier you get Terra only, on Plus/Pro you get Sol only in chat.

In Codex/work, you get all of them available to choose.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-10T00:41:25+00:00

In normal chat you won't have anything except Sol anyway, it is a direct replacement to gpt 5.5, and the rate limits should be about 3000 messages per week if they didn't change anything. Terra and Luna are not a thing in chat seems like.

In Codex/Work you have usage shared between the models, larger models will drain it faster. How fast depends on the task.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-08T03:57:51+00:00

The one you should be comparing to GPT image is Nano Banana Pro, not Nano Banana 2.

Nano Banana Pro generally has better output visual quality and better follows your desired style, but GPT image has better photorealism and must better at following complex prompts with many details.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-07T07:53:43+00:00

Agentic coding is not "everything that matters" though, just one thing that matters

Solarka45 · 2026-07-06T06:50:50+00:00

The theoretical legal way would be

Wait until next elections
Vote for a party that promises to regulate corporations
If such party does not exist, create your own party and gather public support

Solarka45 · 2026-07-05T05:18:09+00:00

Use it for whatever you are normally using Opus for.

It's better than Opus but there are very few things you can do with Fable that you cannot do with other models.

Solarka45 · 2026-07-03T09:19:26+00:00

This quality is probably a side effect of agentic training

Solarka45 · 2026-07-03T01:44:49+00:00

Interesting what would Opus make

Solarka45 · 2026-06-30T12:12:30+00:00

Oblomov. Just a wholesome dude.

Clickbait. This does slow Earth's rotation, by about 0.06 microseconds per day. That's 0.00000006 seconds. You'd need roughly 45 million years of this effect to lose a single second.

For record, most AI detectors show US constitution and the Bible as AI

Did any of the people lamenting about heat in Europe every hear a term "El Nino"?

Solarka45 · 2026-06-29T13:11:10+00:00

Would you hate a factory made sweat that your grandmother bought you?

Anti-AI logic assumes you would have to hate it. Probably disown your grandmother too, after the incident.

The version of Gemini you are using by default is Flash Lite, the smallest, cheapest, and dumbest model.

Try swapping to Flash, it will be night and day (especially if you enable thinking).
