5.6 Sol reasons well but still struggles to explain itself to humans
jarrodwatts · x · 2026-08-04
The author says 5.6 Sol is impressive at reasoning but very poor at explaining itself in a way humans can follow.
What makes the post more interesting is the claim that the model seems unusually good at communicating with other instances of itself.
The takeaway: maybe the human user is the bottleneck, not the model.
