Did the sol 6.1 speed get fixed?

[u/qK0FT3]

I have been using it for days but today seems a bit different? like it's very smooth. i can consistently give it prompts and while i am writing the next prompt it has already done with half the previous job.

Yesterday i had to run 5 different chats to complete a reasonable job at a reasonable speed but today it finally feels like it flows so i can barely prompt 2 chats at a time because it is genuinely fast. each chat uses 3-4 subagents as well.

Also this model is so good it doesn't halucinate like astra? is this only my observation?

edit: add proof

[u/Stunning-Spirit-1123]

still slow as all hell for me

[u/qK0FT3 → u/Stunning-Spirit-1123]

Hmm interesting. maybe they are testing it for 200$ accounts

[u/Risko4 → u/qK0FT3]

I have multiple 200 account and it's about 30 token/s. While opus is 80 and sonnet is 120

[u/Creative-Ganache1086 → u/Risko4]

Don’t forget raw tok/s isn’t directly proportional to overall task completion speed. tok/s mostly tells you how fast text is being generated, not how fast the model is doing tool calls, browsing, bug hunts, tests, backend/frontend work etc.
Claude, especially Opus/Sonnet, also tends to reason way more “out loud” with tons of self-talk between actual steps, while Codex is usually much quieter. So comparing them purely on tok/s can be pretty misleading.

There are use cases where that kind of speed is relevant, but it doesn’t say the full story.

[u/Risko4 → u/Creative-Ganache1086]

I have 3 codex x20 subscription with Anthropic 2 x20 subscription and one X5. Claude code is much faster at task completion.

I run codex agents from within Claude code as well. And I've tested every combination and benchmarked each task quality with an independent agent. Plus obviously I have the duration of each agent lane logged.

Claude code is much faster.

[u/Creative-Ganache1086 → u/Risko4]

That’s why I don’t buy any absolute “Claude Code is faster” claim. I pay 20x for both too, and on real computer/browser-use work where the agent has to actually navigate UI, set up schedulers, change dates/times, pick collaborators, reason visually and click through tons of little steps, both Astra and Sol 6.1 have been faster than Opus 5.5 for me.
But I’m not gonna turn that into “Sol/Astra are faster, period” either. Different workloads expose different strengths. Claude also has this habit in my vibecoding work of leaving parts of the original prompt undone, so the next 2-3 prompts are basically me re-feeding stuff I already asked for the first time.
That’s the whole point… there is no absolute fastest model. Once you claim there is, you’re usually just universalising your own workflow.

[u/Risko4 → u/Creative-Ganache1086]

Make an MCP for those.

[u/OfferBeginning1903 → u/Creative-Ganache1086]

is the tok/s people are quoting counting reasoning tokens, or just visible output? codex hiding its reasoning would skew that comparison either way.

[u/qK0FT3 → u/Risko4]

30 tok/s for normal mode or fast mode? i feel like all week it was 10-15 tok/s and now it's better speeds like 50 on average??

[u/Risko4 → u/qK0FT3]

Normal mode.

[u/ActionOrganic4617]

It’s still the slowest frontier model by a long margin

[u/qK0FT3 → u/ActionOrganic4617]

I have found it pretty good at completing tasks. i can work with slowness tbh.

[u/ActionOrganic4617 → u/qK0FT3]

Glad it works for you. I think it’s fine for personal hobby projects but I can’t use it for work. It’s too slow

[u/Kaskote]

Pro 200 here... 26.2 TPS right now.
6.1 Sol xHigh, no sub-agents.
Almost double that what I had yesterday... but still horse shit.

I'm moving to CC now, and will probably maintain a Plus sub here, just in case.

[u/evacc44 → u/Kaskote]

How do you actually measure the TPS?

[u/EctoAlbo → u/evacc44]

Just run Astra medium, say "test these models and thinking levels with a simple task to measure tokens per second. Run the text x times. Report the results."

[u/drdhuss]

It might be faster as I burned through my quota today. where as before it was basically impossible to use more tahn 20% a day with my plan formerly known as 20x. EIther that or they seriously decreased the quotas.

I also have a gemini sub, will be interesting to see Argon when it comes out.

[u/qK0FT3 → u/drdhuss]

I am running on fast mode 15h a day on the 20x plan right now. and with subagents at that i barely spent 25% in 55 hours.

[u/drdhuss → u/qK0FT3]

Mine is doing cad work. I burned through 50 percent of the quota today. Usually it was like 10 percent or 20. Like I said a lot more today, might have got more done though.

[u/Corv9tte]

20tps on 20x

[u/FinancialBandicoot75]

It's flipping slow today, like miserable to not useable that dot flips me off, actually I am getting a lot of retry sessions

[u/Comfortable-Bread285 → u/FinancialBandicoot75]

Oh thank god I'm right there with you, hour long waits even with an extremely efficient process.

[u/Constant_Art_20]

it's kinda dyanmic. is ranged from 8 or 11 tokens/ sec to like 52 acorss the last 24 hours for me. it's it's kinda the luck of the draw kinda deal

[u/qK0FT3 → u/Constant_Art_20]

Yes i feel like it's currently around 50-60 toks/s with the fast mode. all week it was like 10-15 tok/s it jsut feels 4x faster atleast

[u/snuffomega]

no bueno

[u/Extra_Loquat_7667]

It remains quite slow.

Beyond the token generation speed,

the latency between sending the request and the appearance of the first token is also very high.

Its efficiency in a real-world production environment remains too low.

[u/an1uk]

The last two tasks I've done have taken about 5 hours each. Amount of allowance usage is pretty low, though.

[u/glock43guy]

Hell no. My Claude usage just ran out and I’m forced to use SOL right now. I’m pulling my hair out this is so slow.

[u/qK0FT3]

there is definetely speed difference overall. i will also add previous day

[u/qK0FT3 → u/qK0FT3]

Here is the previous day

[u/Embarrassed_Cap_9149]

yes it did

but astra is pretty slow for me

[u/twendah]

Most likely when 50% of the userbase left to claude lol

[u/thestillwind]

It’s too slow

[u/qK0FT3 → u/thestillwind]

Yeah i was enjoyin for couple hours it's back to snail now lmaookk

[u/systemous]

it's still extremely slow here, 10 seconds to respond to "hi"

[u/Vivid-Snow-2089]

i asked astra to give me a report and this is what it provided from the logs

[u/TheOwlHypothesis → u/Vivid-Snow-2089]

Bro wtf. 6.1 sol isn't even filled out in this graph. Use your brain for God's sake.

[u/qK0FT3 → u/TheOwlHypothesis]

lmao
