OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol is back to normal speed and resets usage for all paid ChatGPT accounts

@thsottiaux of OpenAI's Codex team said on October 2 that GPT-6.1 Sol was slow during a load spike in its first two days and is now back to expected speeds. Along with an apology, he announced a reset of usage for all paid ChatGPT accounts and said the same day that it had propagated to everyone. The announcement passed 20,000 likes and 3.5 million views. One user joked that Codex still showed 98% left and asked what to build before the reset.

Sam Altman said dot is his favorite OpenAI product so far. It learns his workflow and style and feels noticeably better every day, he wrote, and handing it the tasks that pile up as dread makes him very happy. The same day he addressed speculation about OpenAI's partnership with Cerebras, saying Cerebras is a close partner and the two are pushing on the frontiers of speed. The post does not say what the speculation was.
