GPT-6.1 Sol appears silently nerfed mid-task, user reports 3B-level output quality
Ferzelibey · reddit · 2026-09-30
- A Reddit user reports GPT-6.1 Sol suddenly degrading mid-session, seemingly nerfed about 10 minutes earlier.
- Symptoms: responses switched to Mongolian in Cyrillic script, and simple instructions failed — a logo letter-rotation task previously handled with a Python script was instead routed to image generation with chaotic results.
- The author is switching serious work to Claude after its weekly reset, keeping ChatGPT only for casual chat and text-to-image. The degradation is unconfirmed officially.
