    Have they solved GPT5.6 SOL's propensity to over-engineer and over-complicate? You'd ask SOL to do something relatively simple, and find four single-use methods, an interface, and a factory-factory.

    I actually preferred 5.6-Terra not because it is technically superior (it isn't) but because it had better instincts to NOT do this stuff.

    PS - Speaking of better instincts, have they closed the UI-design gap at all? I keep a Claude subscription just because /design produces significantly higher quality UI design/UI feedback/UI refinement than anything I've seen from OpenAI.

      I force OpenAI models to use image generation for design, then an iteration loop until it matches the image gen.

      This is frustratingly manual and takes many more repetitions compared to Claude (and especially Claude Design) which "just work", but it's a big step change over the default.

        FWIW, Codex's "Product Design" plugin basically is this workflow (minus built-in iteration, but the model in one prompt will still do its own internal iteration), it'll generate 3 images for you to choose from and then build from that + feedback

        Claude has a bunch of designs hardcoded into it, which is why all of the websites and presentations it makes look the same.
