OpenAI has released its new GPT 5.6 models, including 'ChatGTP Work,' an AI agent designed to gather content across applications for document creation. The company claims GPT 5.6, particularly the 'Sol' model, is significantly more efficient and cost-effective than previous versions, outperforming Anthropic's models in coding tasks. OpenAI is positioning these advancements to directly challenge Anthropic's market share in enterprise AI.
“OpenAI released GPT 5.6 broadly yesterday and launched Chat GBT Work, an AI agent that can gather content across apps and files to create documents on Mac OS and Windows.”
“CEO Sam Altman has promised that his company's newest models are orders of magnitude more efficient and cost-effective than previous versions, recently telling CNBC that Sol is 54% more token efficient when it comes to AI coding tasks.”
“Using the coding agent index, OpenAI claims that Sol sets a new state of the art at 80, 20.8 points above Fable 5, while using less than half the output tokens, taking less than half the time and costing about one-third less.”
