After a day of 'GPT-6.1 Sol is slow' reviews, Altman says it was load and should be much better now

Yesterday Codex users piled up reviews saying GPT-6.1 Sol burns less quota but finishes work slowly. Seven hours ago Sam Altman wrote on X that 6.1 Sol was OpenAI's fastest-growing model ever, was a bit slow under load, and should be much better now. The post drew 8,800 likes.
The issue on the Codex repository is still open: the 5-hour window drains two to three times slower than with the previous model, but tasks that took a few minutes now take 10 to 12. Whether the speed is really back will show in today's reviews.
