Summary
The AI lab has rolled out a new mode called Ultrafast, which it says is designed to seriously accelerate the pace at which its latest and most powerful model, GPT-5.6 Sol, accomplishes its work. The company says that Ultrafast can work at 14x the speed of standard processing, delivering up to 750 output tokens, such tokens represent the distinct pieces of text generated by an LLM when it interacts with a human, per second. “Until now, getting real-time speed typically meant choosing a smaller or more specialized model,” the company said in the blog post on Thursday. OpenAI’s competitors, like Anthropic, have similarly launched accelerated versions of their models.
