Users Report Degradation in OpenAI Sol High Chat/Codex
Illustrious-Bet-1368 · reddit · 2026-08-22
Reddit users report recent degradation and changes in OpenAI's Sol High models (Chat and Codex):
Chat (Sol High):
- Reasoning chains have disappeared; replies are instant but lack depth.
- Quality dropped with swearing/emojis; sources (memories/instructions) are no longer shown.
- Title generation bugs (e.g., outputting "Write X Reply").
Codex:
- Stricter usage limits.
- Fails to follow instructions/docs, doesn't pull Memory or Skills, suggests generic implementations.
- Ignores explicit testing constraints, over-engineering.
Users suspect this is a widespread A/B test or model adjustment.
