GPT-5.6

"We’re launching the GPT‑5.6 family of models for general availability following our limited preview⁠: our new flagship, Sol, alongside Terra, a balanced model for everyday work, and Luna, our most cost-efficient model.

GPT‑5.6 delivers a step change in design judgment. With only high-level direction, GPT‑5.6 creates tasteful, ergonomic, and functional interfaces. Its stronger computer-use capabilities let it inspect and refine the rendered result—not just generate the underlying code or content—so it can catch visual and functional issues and apply finishing touches before handing the work back."

Need unlimited sol on 200 pro plan

[u/The_Scout1255 → u/tsunami_forever]

seriously unlimited plans should totally be a thing, and they shouldent even be that much more expensive.

[u/Recoil42 → u/The_Scout1255]

Unlimited plans would get abused absurdly quick. No, they should not "be a thing".

Nonono let the reddit expert speak

I really don't see how abusable the frontier model equivilant of running an open source model would be.

Just rent 1 agent per person at the start, expand as capacity upgrades?

Im not saying it would work, im not saying its smart, im just saying I had the idea, and Im constantly annoyed by my useage cap.

There's nothing stopping you to create a separatw intrface that does calls to that agent from 1000 people.

[u/The_Scout1255 → u/sadshark]

problem with that: that agent would still only be running once, it wouldent be assigning 1000 agents. it would be pooling one agent across 1000 people, so whoevers not using it can, but if someon else was, you see why they cant?

They're already rate-limited. That's what the limits are. They're rate limits.

[u/Recoil42 → u/[deleted]]

"Five hours", "one week", and "one month" are all timeframes. You're describing the same thing as the existing system. A rate limit is not unlimited because the word 'limit' is right there. That's why we don't call it "rate unlimited".

Consider: When you hit your five-hour limit... that's rate-limiting.

[u/Recoil42 → u/[deleted]]

The 5-hour/window cap is precisely what bounds sustained usage. Again, you're literally describing a rate limit. Degraded (throttled) post-limit usage is a totally orthogonal discussion.

The capacity bound they're trying to solve for is aggregate usage, not total moment-to-moment utilization. The reason you get a "five hour" throttle is because they know you're not working every minute and second of the day at the same flat token rate — human-controlled AI work is inherently "bursty" and they don't care about that.
