GPT-5.6 Configuration Combinations Spark Complaints
rasbt · x · 2026-07-10
When asked if Ultra is stronger than Pro, a user revealed the current available configurations: 2 modes (Codex and Work mode), 3 GPT-5.6 models (Sol, Terra, Luna), and 5 effort levels (Light, Medium, High, Extra High, Ultra).
They complained that this creates 30 possible query configurations and asked where the original "Auto" mode went, expressing frustration over the overwhelming choices and complex naming scheme.
