5.6 Instant? ( I know its not but just look)
ChatGPT, UI design, model picker, GPT-5.6, Instant mode
User notes UI consistency between Chat tab and Codex slider Both GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol models show 'Instant' toggle options Visual layout suggests existence of '5.6 Sol Instant Medium/High' — though no such model is confirmed
Emphasizes visual impression over functional confirmation; minimizes need for verification by presenting ambiguity as observation rather than claim.
Casual insider observation — positioning the poster as a detail-oriented user noticing subtle interface cues.
Users report seeing 'Instant' options for GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol in ChatGPT’s model picker, suggesting a new low-latency model tier.
No confirmation from OpenAI documentation or release notes; No performance benchmarks or API behavior described; No indication whether 'Instant' appears across all user accounts or only in beta/experimental environments
Combines visual evidence (screenshots) with implied technical literacy ('Sol', '5.6') to lend credibility to speculation; the framing makes minor UI consistency feel like intentional roadmap signaling, while offering zero functional validation or source confirmation.
The ChatGPT model picker UI displays 'Instant' options for both GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol models, visually implying a '5.6 Sol Instant Medium/High' variant.
When I select the 5.6 Sol model, I can also choose instant. But when I choose the 5.5 model, I can choose instant there as well. It makes it look like there's a 5.6 sol instant medium and high.
