OpenAI may launch GPT-6 Sol on Thursday: featuring faster speed and lower cost.

Beating AI News Flash: OpenAI may release GPT-6 Sol this Thursday. Top AI blogger Mark Kretschmann directly gave this date and said it will be cheaper and faster than Astra, but slightly less capable.

OpenAI has not yet made an official announcement. Sam Altman only confirmed there will be a "big release" this week, while Tibo Sottiaux said the scale of this week's release is close to a DevDay.

Astra is currently the highest-capability model of GPT-6. If Sol launches this week, it is more likely to become a daily workhorse that is more speed- and cost-friendly.
