GPT-5.6 More Stable for Long Tasks

The reposter says they have switched their primary model to GPT-5.6 because it is more trustworthy for long-term tasks.
Three reasons:
- OpenAI's compaction capability is 'like magic', running tasks for days without much worry about drift
- Compared to other models, there is no obvious 'dumb zone'
- When lower-cost models handle implementation, GPT-5.6 Sol is better suited as the orchestration layer
The post's judgment is clear: GPT-5.6 is more suitable for the orchestrator role in long-term projects.
