GPT-6 is framed as not far off and likely to be both more capable and more efficient. The post says OpenAI has invested heavily in infrastructure, custom chips, and faster inference, and that upcoming Cerebras upgrades will push speeds beyond 750 tokens per second.
It also points to GPT-5.6 as evidence: the model is described as delivering “fable-level” performance while being faster and costing about half as much.
