OpenAI has reduced GPT-5.6 Sol's thinking budgets in an effort to make the model more efficient
They essentially bumped everyone's reasoning down by 1... so if you were running Sol Extra High, you now have to set it to Max to get the same effort
So we basically don't have Max reasoning anymore, how do you feel about these changes? 🤔
🚨 GPT-5.6 Sol's juice values (thinking budgets) have been severely degraded compared to release day
If Sol now feels faster and more "efficient", this is probably why
Terra and Luna juice values aren't affected, so their thinking budgets are now higher than Sol's
