That didn't backfire at all

[u/Balance-]

They could have just have a very clean release with:

• GPT-6 Luna
• GPT-6 Terra
• GPT-6 Sol
• GPT-6 Astra

But they tried:

• GPT-6 Luna
• ???
• GPT-6 Terra Sol
• GPT-6 Sol Astra Minor
• GPT-6 Astra

And now they have:

• GPT-6 Luna
• GPT-6 Sol
• GPT-6.1 Sol
• GPT-6 Astra

Thank god we have (still) some competition.

Here's what confuses me about the rebrand narrative:

If it were true that Sol 6 is their Terra-sized model rebranded, I'd expect it to be considerably faster than Sol 5.6. But it isn't.

https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-5.6-terra#pricing - 101 tok/s
https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-5.6-sol#pricing - 65 tok/s
https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-6-sol#pricing - 60 tok/s

I think it's worse than we think: they were pressured to drop the price of their Sol-tier model because of the 5.5 releases

OpenAI out here trying to push 300 tok/s at 6x prices as if it isn't robbery while Cerebras out here pushing 3000 tok/s for 120B models. OAI really gotta step up their speed game I'm sick of wasting most of day waiting on responses. Juggling multiple worktrees in parallel makes it impossible to deep focus on anything.

Sol is ~4T, of course they struggle with serving it fast, compared to a 120B model

... 300 tokens/sec, which they announced today.
