For research, OpenAI’s team uses Ultrafast to rapidly search knowledge sources, query data, and quickly gather, organize, and summarize information across connected tools.
Key facts
- Today, they're sharing an early look at Ultrafast, a new service tier that runs GPT‑5.6 Sol up to 14× faster than Standard processing, launching first in the OpenAI API
- GPT‑5.6 Sol Ultrafast and standard build a working 3D warehouse simulator from the same text prompt, side by side
- With GPT‑5.6, they're pushing the frontier on what their models can do and making them more efficient across every layer of their stack
- They've been testing GPT‑5.6 Sol on Ultrafast mode with an initial group of companies across coding, commerce, financial research, support, and other interactive applications
Summary
A new speed class for frontier intelligence, turning speed into a competitive advantage. Today, they're sharing an early look at Ultrafast, a new service tier that runs GPT‑5.6 Sol up to 14× faster than Standard processing, launching first in the OpenAI API. With GPT‑5.6, they're pushing the frontier on what their models can do and making them more efficient across every layer of their stack. When speed no longer requires giving up intelligence, AI can move into the most time-sensitive parts of a business and new kinds of work become possible. Incident response and reliability: When a critical system fails, analyze application logs, recent code changes, and engineer reports to identify the likely cause and help prepare a fix while the outage is still unfolding.
