#402The developer's guide ( https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/latest-model ) has some interesting semantic tips for using the model: > Intent understanding: GPT-5.6 can better infer the user’s underlying goal and intended level of work without you specifying every step. Continue to state important constraints, approval boundaries, and success criteria explicitly. > Original image detail: GPT-5.6 preserves the…
This will totally make it brain damaged over a certain tasks. Sort of like the same brain damage that prompted OpenAI project managers to destroy ChatGPT.app today.

#403I look forward to seeing how it compares once I have access. Not getting tripped by spurious safe guard flags could be an advantage.

Thank you Simon! Luna is surprisingly decent across all reasoning levels.

#405>> approximately 700,000 A100e GPU hours of black-box automated red teaming Amusing that they use A100e as the reference point to sound impressive. Different ways you could make that conversion, but based on FP4 FLOPs (yes it's disadvantageous to A100, that's the point), that's something like 200hr on a GB300 NVL72 rack. Not nothing either, but far less astounding sounding than 700k hrs.

#408Ok long time Claude Code user here; lately I've started to realize there's other great models out there I should be trying, but I'm hesitant to leave Claude Code behind for something new. What's the consensus today on codex vs claude code, does it really matter anymore?

#409Is it available in EU? I only see 5.5 still :-(
Re: GPT-5.6
#410Dirac ( https://github.com/dirac-run/dirac , https://dirac.run/ ) now supports gpt-5.6. This thing does now seem to be on the chatGPT/codex accounts yet. UPDATE: it is now available in chatGPT account also, they rolled it out
I used to pride myself on not being the "fonts too pointy, scroll too buttery" crowd! But AI has brought me full circle and now nothing removes my interest in reading even a single word on a page faster than purple gradient greeble-afflicted tailwind-slop models put out without stronger prompting/references That being said, maybe 5.6 can fix that!
