A Reddit post complains that GPT-6 Sol and Luna feel dumber than 5.6, arguing the cheaper price doesn't make up for the capability cut. The author speculates OpenAI launched the budget models to win back users rage-quitting over Astra burning through token limits — and it briefly worked — but calls the dumbed-down approach a bad move, joking that limit resets should come with every wave of cancellations. A representative early-user sentiment piece on the new models' quality and pricing.
