Day 3/
The big one is GPT-6 in Chat, but today is also a little celebration day with a new high of 40M active users across Codex and ChatGPT Work.
Loading a banked reset in everyone's paid accounts. See you again tomorrow!
Roundup of Day 2/
2.1/ Approve for me (auto-review) is now included and does not use usage. Can be between 2-10% of plan when used. Also better for you.
2.2/ Simplified API for builders.
2.3/ Meeting notes integrated.
2.4/ Decisions API live for builders. Will use in the app to improve the experience.
Latest from Tibo · @SimonasLTU1 This was all client-side + network for playground only. Shipped optimized rendering logic that can keep up with ultrafast, try again
Okay, so as a poor peasant with a ChatGPT Pro $100 subscription and like $2 sitting in my OpenAI Playground balance, I decided to test GPT-6.1 Sol ULTRAMOTHERFUCKINGFAST in the API.
The result?
12,566 output tokens in 4 minutes 16 seconds.
Do the math 😂 That's about 49 tok/s.
I don't know... maybe I'll try it one more time to see if that's actually the real speed, but if it is, I'm sorry, calling 49 tok/s "Ultrafast" is pretty horrible...

GPT-6 Sol and Luna are out. Not only are they a very significant improvement across the board, but also in writing and general "you know when you try it" quality.
We are also permanently reducing the API price by 50% making both of them viable for a ton of new usecases and making your usage go further too, even on the subscriptions.
And one more thing. We are loading a banked reset into all accounts of our Plus, Pro and Business users. Let's go!

We have been focusing on efficiency and intelligence for all.
Very proud of the team. Only possible when you have incredible models at the top end of the capability that you can then use to make a big difference in everything else.
Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.
Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.
We’ve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as it’s going through the motions.
The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.
And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Thanks for reading. We will do a global reset of the usage for all paid subscriptions so that you can keep enjoying Astra after burning through all of it doing fun 3D modeling in blender. The work week is about to start.
Lands around 6pm PST today.
Start with the original words.“Next hour” starts at publication. Explicit clock times use their stated time zone; PST and PDT use their corresponding offsets. Missing zones use an explicitly labelled Pacific-local assumption. Estimates add a separate 1–2 hour allowance.
Missing times get a reference window.The reference is 16:30–21:30 Pacific, adjusted for daylight saving time. We count confirmation-post timestamps; these do not establish when a reset button was pressed.
Of 7 collected confirmation timestamps in 90 days, 4 fall in that window.
Source facts and estimates stay separate.Only explicit confirmation posts are source-confirmed. Six hours after an estimated window, a record may say “likely completed (estimate)”; it remains unconfirmed. Banked resets do not restore usage by themselves. Posting time is not delivery time.
Public posts are checked continuously.New posts every 1.0 hours; relevant older sources every 6.0 hours. Messages publish automatically and may be withdrawn by an operator. Check your own quota and banked balance in Codex.
Earliest collected record · Coverage is limited to accessible sources successfully read by this monitor, not a complete historical archive. Manual evidence is labelled separately.
