A Reddit user says 5.6 Sol High has become their new favorite model for content research and drafting.
What they like
- It feels dramatically better than the GPT models they used earlier in the year.
- It is good at research, can recover from mistakes, and keeps working through issues.
- Compared with Claude, it has a more straightforward, less sycophantic personality.
How they use it
- Sol High handles the outline and research phase.
- Then the user sends the result to Claude to make the text more engaging without changing facts or length.
Main caveat
The writing tone is still stiff compared with Claude, but the author thinks the model is better than Fable for research tasks and is especially good value at €23/month with no resets so far.
