GPT-5.6: The System Card

GPT-5.6: The System Card

While we wait for a general release, the system card is the best hint as to what is going on with the new candidate for America’s Next Top Model, GPT-5.6. This is only an OpenAI model card, so by my standards it’s a light read. There’s a lot of things that you get in an Anthropic card, that are missing in an OpenAI card. Overall, the card gives a clear and consistent impression that GPT-5.6-Sol is a substantial improvement over GPT-5.5, but still short of Mythos. OpenAI calls it a ‘step function better’ than GPT-5.5. That seems accurate. OpenAI : Sol is our new flagship and a step function better than GPT-5.5. Terra delivers performance competitive to GPT-5.5 at 2x lower cost. Luna is our most cost-efficient model, delivering strong capability at our lowest cost. Together, the GPT-5.6 family gives people and developers more choice in how they balance intelligence, speed, and cost. Once available, pricing for GPT-5.6-Sol will be $5/$30, the same as GPT-5.5. Terra is $2.5/$15, Luna is $1/$6. They claim it will be on Cerebras at 750 TPS , which is insanely fast. Capacity will be limited, at least at first. They did not specify the price for that. There is a new higher thinking setting : Max. There is a new setting beyond Max called Ultra that lets GPT-5.6 spawn sub-agents. The intended strategy against bio and cyber misuse is defense-in-depth. My guess is that in practice this strategy is robust for now, but that the White House’s misunderstandings around Fable and what is and…

Regression in multi-tool autonomous execution

Regression in multi-tool autonomous execution

I have an agent workflow using the n8n MCP integration. A week ago, ChatGPT could autonomously execute a chain of tools in a single response: Execute workflow Capture executionId Call get_execution(includeData=true) Inspect results Execute the next workflow Repeat until completion Return only the final result My workflow depends on sequential execution where each step consumes the previous step’s output. Currently, ChatGPT stops after the first or second tool invocation and returns control to the user, preventing autonomous orchestration, even though all required tools (execute_workflow, get_execution, etc.) are available. The exact same workflow and prompt continue to work in another LLM environment, suggesting a regression or runtime limitation rather than a prompt issue. It would be valuable to restore support for multi-step autonomous tool execution for agentic workflows.

Custom GPT Actions work in text but never execute in Voice Mode (InvalidRecipient : Unrecognized recipient))

Hi, Thanks for the clarification. Could you confirm whether Custom GPT Actions in Voice Mode are: intentionally not supported (by design / product decision) or temporarily not supported (work in progress / roadmap item) In other words, is there any plan to enable full tool / Actions execution in Advanced Voice Mode for Custom GPTs in the future? This is critical for understanding whether Voice Mode can be used as an interaction layer for action-based agents. Thanks

Keyboard Navigation Of Hyperlinks

Thanks for the feature request, @Starker! I can definitely see the value in being able to navigate hyperlinks in a conversation entirely from the keyboard. Before I pass the details on internally, would you mind answering a few questions? The answers will help provide the team with the right context: What are you ultimately trying to accomplish, in your own words? What do you do today instead, and what about that isn't working for you? If we solved this perfectly, what would be different for you or your team? Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback! -Mark G.

Improve “Branch in New Chat” Context Handling

Improve “Branch in New Chat” Context Handling

Thanks for sharing this idea, @aliexe. I can definitely see why that would be useful, especially for long technical conversations where you want a branch to become a more focused discussion instead of carrying along unrelated history. Giving users control over how much context is copied, whether that's the full conversation, up to a selected message, AI-generated minimal context, or just the selected message, seems like a thoughtful way to make branching more flexible. I've passed this along to the team so it can be logged as a feature request. It's a great suggestion, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain both the current limitations and the potential improvements. -Mark G.

Evaluating Offline Monitoring of Internal AI Agents

This work was conducted during the GovAI Winter Fellowship 2026. Full report Executive Summary Frontier AI companies use offline monitoring to address risks from internally deployed AI agents. AI developers increasingly rely on AI agents for internal work, including for safety research and model training. At the same time, these companies are concerned that a misaligned model could exploit this access to take concerning actions, such as sabotaging efforts to understand the risks posed by AI. To identify such instances, AI companies have separate AI models called "monitors" that review transcripts of AI agents' actions and flag suspicious activity. Human reviewers examine activity flagged as suspicious by monitors, judge whether that activity is concerning, and decide on an appropriate response. This monitoring occurs offline, meaning that actions are reviewed after they have been executed rather than intercepted in real time. Companies currently assess the effectiveness of offline monitoring via synthetic attacks. To assess the effectiveness of offline monitoring, OpenAI and Anthropic use synthetic attacks – transcripts constructed to contain the kind of harmful actions a misaligned AI might take during deployment – and then check whether monitors flag them. Current reporting on assessments of effectiveness is insufficient. Given the information currently made public by Anthropic and OpenAI, external parties cannot assess the overall effectiveness of their offline monitoring…

Weekly demand forecasting: Should I train on weekly or daily data and then aggregate?

I'm currently working on a demand forecasting problem for inventory replenishment, and I'd love to hear how others would approach it. The business requests a forecast for the next 4 weeks of stock consumption around the middle of the previous month. For example, in mid-June, I need to forecast the weekly demand for July. The challenge is that, at the time the forecast is generated, transactions from the second half of June are not yet available , creating a gap between the latest observed data and the beginning of the forecast horizon. The data I have consists of purchase order transactions at the SKU level , including timestamp (date and time) and quantity consumed. My main question is about the appropriate time granularity for training the forecasting model: Option 1: Aggregate the data by SKU and ISO YearWeek , resulting in one observation per SKU per week, and train a model to directly predict the next 4 weeks. Option 2: Keep the data at the daily level , train a model to forecast daily demand, and then aggregate the daily predictions into ISO YearWeeks to obtain the required weekly forecasts. One additional detail is that the forecast is reported using ISO YearWeeks . As a result, some weeks within a calendar month may contain only 3 or 4 days of that month (e.g., at the beginning or end of the month), while others contain all 7 days. My question is: Which approach would you choose, and why? Is it generally better to train the model at the same frequency as the business…

AI won't become a real coworker until it stops answering and starts finishing tasks

A survey paper by Tencent and several Chinese universities traces the path from chatbot to "digital colleague." AI systems won't become reliable coworkers, the researchers argue, until they finish entire tasks in persistent work environments instead of just generating answers. The key lies in combining persistent workspaces with reusable skills. The article AI won't become a real coworker until it stops answering and starts finishing tasks appeared first on The Decoder .
