Better Call Sol The Workhorse

ai

OpenAI has released three new models: GPT-5.6-Sol, Terra, and Luna, with Sol priced at five dollars per million input tokens—undercutting Anthropic's Fable at ten dollars. Per LessWrong's take on early reactions, Sol is positioned as the practical workhorse, strong on coding and autonomous tasks but trading some reasoning depth for execution speed. Internally, adoption is accelerating: coding inference usage has grown a hundred-fold in six months, and agentic token usage is up twenty-two fold, suggesting AI-assisted development is becoming standard practice.
