"Next generation model" If it was the next generation, why isn't it a major version change..?
Some assume it was to try to slip under the radar and avoid being limited by the government as they did with Fable.

#142> Additionally, we’re introducing a new `ultra` mode that goes beyond the capabilities of a single agent by leveraging subagents to accelerate complex work. I'm curious about how does this work? Do the subagents also get to use the same tools? Will the client be flooded with tool calls? Why extra pricing for a new "model" when the same thing can happen in the client with more controls?

I'm shocked they didn't use subagents already. Maybe they're just talking about their web deployment being unified with codex?

Don’t all the major harnesses (pi, Claude code, codex) utilize sub agents? Def if you direct it to, but I’ve seen at least pi spin them up without explicit instruction.
Absolutely yes

#145Doesn't it strike anyone as strange that SOL, TERRA, and LUNA are all quasi-scam crypto tickers?
There is a crypto ticker for literally any catchy short string.

#146Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's either please the Orange or don't release at all (or worse). OpenAI's leverage is limited; even Anthropic folded.
So we just bend down then?
Unless you work at OpenAI/Anthropic/etc., you are not a part of the "we".
If you're asking what the average person can do, then the civic perogative is political action to help elect more AI-cognizant leaders.

#149I think GPT writes code the best. How well will it write in version 5.6? It gives me chills. Recently, I went head-to-head with GPT on nearly 2,000 lines of code, and GPT's solution was superior and faster. I even referenced multiple codebases on GitHub while trying, but they were incomparable to GPT. So using GPT brings both fear and excitement. The fear comes from realizing that this level of code is now the averag…
I'm suspect on how much of a coding advance it will be.
Seems odd that their announcement has zero coding benchmarks, with the closest related thing being terminal bench.

#150Another model family, another naming scheme to get used to. Sol Ultra ≈ Pro Sol ≈ Standard Terra ≈ Mini Luna ≈ Nano
AI marketing washcycle is very efficient.
