Critic Challenges WSJ Report: Missing Context on GPT-5.6 Sol Release
inductionheads · x · 2026-08-19
Criticizing a WSJ report that claimed OpenAI's revenue grew only 18% to $6.7 billion from Q1 to Q2, a counter-argument highlights missing context: the release of GPT-5.6 Sol on July 9 (the start of Q3). Cited data indicates that Codex usage surged from 5 million to over 15 million active users since the release. The argument suggests that Q2 figures alone fail to capture the growth momentum triggered by the new product launch.
