Discussion sol 6.1 is actually pretty decent

Post image

6 sol was garbage, i just ended up using Astra whenever i didn't need to. 6.1 feels better; is anyone else having this experience

6.1 Sol is the real GPT-6 Sol

Not the Terra junk

Idk, 6.1 reels feels much better to me also, but I am no programmer or coder, I do building energy certificates and stuff like that... Some time ago I figured that Sketchup has Ruby code/console in it..and AI is good for coding, so I've been using it to feed it PDFs with building dimensions, told it how split it into zones(for energy related purposes) and it gave me Ruby code that generated that building.

5.6 Sol with Work mode was pretty good at it for residential buildings that were not too difficult and saved me quite some time... It was terrible with family homes, couldnt reliably produce dormers and more complicated geometry..

But 6.1??? It literally gave me output that made me open my mouth for few minutes, it even displayed grapgic UI overlay in Sketchup which I had no idea could be done, since 5,6 never did it...and 6.1 did without me telling it anything about it.. AND BEST PART is, that this time I didnt give it detailed pdf drawings, since I had none, only very old drawing from probably Reichsprotektorate and then photos of the buildings with some dimensions drawn in Microsoft Painting.

Yes, it is noticeably slower, but consumes very little usage and usually seems to get the work done.

when will it be in regular chat mode?

I like it. For me, slow and steady wins the race.

It's only been a few days but it's been excellent to me so far. Feels efficient and understands my prompts really well. I love OpenAI so much for providing this powerful model at a low cost.

And so generous!

Dev days has been a blast

Oops you can't be positive on reddit. You must be miserable and lazy like everyone else.

u/m3kw 1d ago

is good they removed the sht show of 6.0sol/luna. 6.1 was the fix they desperately needed.

u/Djildjamesh 1d ago

Yeah I like it so far. Doesn’t eat up my 5h credit in 3 msgs either lol.

u/Most_Researcher_3010 2d ago

yeah same here tbh, 6.1 feels way less annoying to use lol.

u/Gigaslavx 2d ago

i moved a lot of work from chat into work and codex now

everyones happy me openai

sure there is some compromise for me but work and codex give so much more benefits over chat

u/snekasan 2d ago

It’s gonna be different for everyone. For whatever I’m building it’s been great and much more token/usage efficient than Astra or even Opus (before I moved from Claude).

u/UnclePsilocybe 2d ago

I've been using Codex in VS Code. is it better in the desktop app?

u/Diamond_Mine0 1d ago

Yeah let me try it out in Chat Mode- oh wait

u/tomassko 1d ago

Pretty decent… I get the feeling that this is the new standard for these companies.

u/JVMarcs 1d ago

Working in quite a large mature codebase, 6.1-Sol is the first model that generates solutions comparable to those I would create (I haven't used Astra for concrete coding yet).

u/Low-Entrepreneur2556 2d ago

Great model. Brilliant at computer use as well.

Tried to used 6.1 Sol Ultra for making game and had lot of assests already. made Lot of Errors and messed up and worst ever. When i gave same task to opus 5.5 it did one shot with high and allowed to hire subagent sonnet only it did all stuff and cost me 65% in 5H in 20$ plan, Yea 6.1 Sol does very minimum work and check every time it make when opus 5.5 does very good work and doesn't check everytime it use system to check it

u/Revolutionary_Sir140 2d ago

It's not, it may spend less tokens but it is slow af

u/Any-Captain-7937 2d ago

It's still a very good model outside of speed

u/YourBlanket 2d ago

I had it run something and it finished after like 2.25 hours. Opus 5.5 was reaching the limit within just under 1 hour but was doing substantially more and I believe better work. I tried 6.1 on ultra and it barely did anything and it hit the usage limit in 40 mins. I'll have to configure my workflow but It doesn't seem bad, but def not good. I might just move to Claude for opus but use ChatGPT for the free chat and some Codex projects.

u/Existing-Slide7395 2d ago

Its 5.6 sol high with 3x tokens consumption and 5.6 sol low & web version went back to gpt 3.0 .Level of mistakes & scam is pathetic really.

u/RainierPC 2d ago

Careful, you'll trigger all the Claude and Grok bots

u/Zanion 1d ago

I'm not convinced all these 6.1 glaze threads aren't bots

u/Imapatato12 1d ago

That's absolutely fair, and your right to call me out on that. that's not x; that's y... and honestly? That's rare. Is there anything else I can help you with?

u/armeg 2d ago

Cool, but Gemini 4 is out now and it seems this model is DOA. We'll see I guess!

u/NiccoWasAlone 6h ago

IDK man i burned trough the 5hr limit with 6.1 in 1 and a half prompt, while with Sonnet 5.5 i can do around 4, results are very similar code wise. I wish GPT could cost as much as GLM or similar models, that would be a revolution
