GPT-5.6 Sol Slammed for High Pricing
RFOK · reddit · 2026-07-11
A user complains about the steep pricing of GPT-5.6 Sol. Even with a Plus subscription, the model couldn't complete a requested plan. Despite two limit resets, the performance wasn't convincing enough to justify upgrading to Pro/x5/x20 tiers.
The author argues this pricing undermines the model's competitiveness in everyday app development, potentially handing opportunities over to rivals, including "potentially upcoming Chinese models."
