Reddit user tests indicate that 5.6 Sol xHigh is roughly 2–3 times faster than Opus 4.8 xHigh when handling custom agentic tasks.
- Tasks that previously took Opus 30–40 minutes are completed by Sol in just 10–20 minutes.
- Sol strikes a better balance among intelligence, efficiency, and speed, making it highly suited for agentic work.
- The user has temporarily canceled their Claude subscription and switched to the 5.6 series models for their workflow.
