I fear OpenAI models are collapsing on themselves (idk if it's because of loop transformers or too much RL etc), which I didn't feel with 5.6 Sol at all. Need a 6.1 Sol nor Astra really feel like full blown legitimate models. More like autistic genius individuals who are partially brain dead.
Which can sometimes work incredibly well when working in conjunction with another model. It's unbelievable how incredible gpt-6.1-sol even on medium reasoning is at reviewing Opus 5.5's work it will find incredibly weird, but legitimate, edge cases, yet if you actually use it as the main model, it just misses forest for trees so much. They are more like an organ which can do an incredible job at a specialized task that the brain cannot handle efficiently but the second you try to do brain's work with time, it all comes crashing down.
I hope they are able to recover with future models. If you could could somehow combine how Opus approaches a task with the autistic brilliance of Astra/6.1, you would have an incredible model far exceeding today's models.
