I would just LOVE to see all the behind-the-scenes shithousery both companies are employing to one-up the other in this, largely, 2-horse AGI race. Someone should make a mockumentary when all is said and done!

> the cache read discount rises from 90% to 95%. GPT-6.1 Sol’s overall blended price for agentic workloads is therefore slightly lower than GPT-6 Sol. This represents an additional price cut, following GPT-6 Sol’s original 50% discount from GPT-5.6 Sol
Wow, just wow. We are racing to the bottom with these prices.

After 5.5, I basically don't notice a jump in model performance, other than my usage ending sooner.

What do people get out of being so reductionist?
Every time a new model comes out, people come out in droves "oh I don't notice anything different".
People have been saying this about <currentModel-1> for 2 years now, and the entire state of AI has changed dramatically.
It cannot be that the next AI model isn't better, but also suddenly what they are capable of is on an entirely different level.

This has got to be a panic move from OpenAI, right? They’ve had some bad press lately because from their billing changes, and Anthropic have finally released a fast, relatively cheap Opus with improved written English.
