Developers call Sol 6.1 slow and lazy despite DevDay hype
kimmonismus · x · 2026-10-04
Adding to post-DevDay disappointment, kimmonismus reports that OpenAI's Sol 6.1 is slow in real use — especially versus Opus 5.5 — and feels "lazy," requiring prompting to take action like the old Opus 5, while Astra feels more eager. Quoted user scottstts is blunter: OpenAI hyped "20 new things" before DevDay but nothing mattered; Sol 6.1's benchmark performance and efficiency exist only on paper, and TPS-normalized usage remains severely broken compared to Claude.
