This reply mentions that the response times for GPT-5.6 Sol are "really fast" and speculates that Cerebras chips are behind this.
Subsequent quoted content noted: the sol growth for 5.6 has been incredibly steep, and the inference team has been working tirelessly to meet demand. The team will continue to expand capacity, but in the short term, "there may still be some hiccups." Overall, it signals a massive surge in inference demand and emergency infrastructure scaling.
