User speculates GPT-6.1 Sol's generous limits come from deliberately throttled speed
AccomplishedSugar490 · reddit · 2026-10-13
A user speculates that GPT-6.1 Sol's low limit consumption stems from it running at a fraction of the speed of its predecessor — even all-day multi-task and subagent usage struggles to hit compute caps at that pace.
The author says he mostly doesn't mind, but criticizes OpenAI for not stating the tradeoff explicitly, accusing the company of again treating users as lab rats. Note: the model name and motive are unverified user speculation.
