OpenAI Previews GPT-5.6 Sol in Limited Release Amid Government Review
Alex Finn reacts to OpenAI's limited preview of GPT-5.6 Sol, which he says beats Mythos at a third of the price and is gated while the government reviews it. He argues restricted release harms consumers, though the claims about pricing and access are his own commentary.

Unfortunately it appears the world has changed and we are never going back
OpenAI just announced GPT-5.6 Sol, a model that beats Mythos at 1/3 the price
It will only be in limited release to start as the government reviews it
The days of wide release frontier models are over
The years of some executives shilling AI as a world destroying technology that needs regulation got what they wanted, regulation
Now only the select few will get access to super intelligence. Leaving the normie class behind
It's a massive loss. Now winners and losers will be picked by the government. Which sucks.
All of this doomerism has done nothing but slow America down
On the positive side, Fable 5 will have competition
It appears OpenAI has discovered a new post training technique that is allowing them to make revolutionary jumps at a fraction of the price
That is unbelievably positive for all consumers.
Will be counting down the days until I get to use this model
In the meantime I hope this was a wake up call to the entire industry that our words and marketing matter
