Frustration mounts as Codex and Sol 5.6 agents show degraded performance on complex tasks
altryne · x · 2026-08-14
The author reports a noticeable decline in the performance of Codex and Sol 5.6 on ultrahard tasks recently. Operations that were easily handled two weeks ago now take a frustratingly long time, with the computer use feature missing clicks and opening unnecessary windows. The agent also fails to recognize it can use the Chrome connector. The author speculates this regression might be due to skill overload and asks the community if they are experiencing similar issues.
