GPT-6 Sol rumored to be a smaller model born of OpenAI's inference capacity crunch
mark_k · x · 2026-09-28
markk speculates that GPT-6 Sol was born out of necessity: OpenAI is currently GPU-poor with real inference capacity issues. He argues GPT-6 Sol is likely a smaller model — roughly what Terra used to be — deployed to relieve that capacity strain, which would explain its lackluster performance. This is unverified speculation, not an official disclosure.
