User calls out Granola for defaulting to GPT 5.6 non-thinking and burning his money

User gabriel1 publicly complained that AI note app Granola defaults to "GPT 5.6 terra non-thinking," with a model list offering only weaker legacy options (GPT 5.4, Sonnet 5) and no high-tier choice. He says he's forced to use Fable for every query with no alternative and has no idea how many hundreds of dollars it has cost, asking for a "Sol 6 high" option. Highlights default-model and cost transparency issues in third-party AI apps.
