GPT-5.6 Sol Real-World Test Compilation
sven_ai · x · 2026-07-14
This post rounds up several hands-on tests of GPT-5.6 Sol:
- When given the same prompt to build a food app alongside competitor Fable, Sol proved faster and more decisive, even proactively using built-in image generation to cut costs.
- In another case, a user had it self-program an MCP plugin in 6 minutes and generate a ChatGPT-style After Effects interface animation in 2 minutes, succeeding on the first try.
- It was also noted that the model can autonomously reproduce key findings from LLM papers, indicating OpenAI is pushing the boundaries of the "automated research loop."
