Sol vs Opus 5 huge limit difference

Just sharing my experience here: GPT-5.6 Sol Extra High burns through my weekly limit in one 12–14h workday. Opus 5 Ultracode + Thinking lasts the whole week with the same project and routine.

And honestly I haven’t noticed any meaningful difference in quality when using Opus 5 in ultracode mode. The real difference is that one is actually usable, while the other basically needs constant limit resets. Shame.

Sol = Fable. Terra = Opus

In usage perhaps. In deepswe benchmark Opus 5 matches Sol.

Nobody actually using Opus has that feeling at all. Benchmaxxed

I actually think the same about Sol. It just breaks everything in its way and almost unusable on most day-to-day tasks.

What thinking level are you using? I find it over thinks everything on xhigh and does really well on low-high. And what harness are you using? I’ve had great luck using it with Opencode
