A user says that after using Claude Opus 5 more and more, they notice how weak GPT-5.6 Sol feels at instruction following.
Their take:
- Opus 5 has more of a “common sense” sense of what the user actually wants
- it is more forgiving when instructions are messy or incomplete
- GPT-5.6 Sol feels much more rigid and less helpful in that respect
This is a subjective comparison, but it’s the kind of field report people use to judge how models behave in real workflows.
