Speculation suggests that based on relevant speed parameters, OpenAI's "Sol Ultra" and the new "5.6 Pro" will be incredibly fast, potentially making the GPT Pro model feel as fast as the 5.5 xhigh in the fast tier; however, the tradeoff is that they will be "insanely expensive." This remains an unconfirmed speculation regarding pricing and speed.
