Sol AI Performance Issues
The first complaint appeared on 13 September, when a ChatGPT user asked whether Sol 5.6 Extra High had suddenly started hallucinating. On 14 September, another user said they may have “overworked Sol” and described it as “sleep talking.” By 3 October, users were also reporting availability problems. One said Sol 6.1 max often gets stuck for hours. Other ChatGPT posts describe instant answers with no reported thinking time, conversations ending with a ■ and refusing to continue, and disrupted workflows.
An OpenAI post said users can no longer provide input to ChatGPT Pro while it is thinking. Further questions about chat history, access to other chats and new chat limits show users trying to determine whether Sol or the surrounding product controls cause the behaviour. One user also reported using 6.1 Sol to create a motion comic. Performance problems have direct consequences when the model is part of a production workflow.
If the reports are factual, impact is 20%. Sol users face hallucinated responses, stalled sessions and inconsistent thinking behaviour. People using it for sustained creative or professional work face the clearest costs. Stalls lasting hours can interrupt projects, while the inability to add input during processing changes how ChatGPT Pro users steer longer tasks.
Watch for an OpenAI explanation, model or product updates, and further dated reports showing whether the problems persist across Sol 5.6 Extra High and Sol 6.1 max. Clear reproduction steps would do more for this story than another frustrated post.
