Ultrafast is rolling out today for GPT-6.1 Sol in the API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work.
Near-Astra intelligence at up to 8x faster speeds than Sol Standard, so you can build as fast as the ideas come.
In Codex and ChatGPT Work, access is available on Pro 500, eligible usage-based Enterprise, and credit-based Edu plans. Enterprise admins must enable access.
Ultrafast for GPT-6.1 Sol is available in all supported regions, including support for data residency in the US and EU. We’ve also added support for EU data residency for GPT-6.1 Sol Fast and GPT-6 Luna Fast.

This is honestly a little ridiculous it's not available on the $200 tier
after 6+ months of PRO 20x plan i've realized this this is the cuckiest subscription i've ever had.
We never got a single benefit, over the 5x plan outside of usage despite paying 2x.
Never anything exclusive or early, now we are second class citizens to the $500 plan.
20x is PLENTY of usage to use Sol ultrafast, its hardly more expensive then astra.
"access is available on Pro 500" @thsottiaux this needs fixing or clicking the reset button
Wow, bumped down to district 2. Can’t believe $200 sub gets you a second class seat these days. I’ve never paid so much for a sub and now its not even enough to stay top tier?
So crazy..wonder if this is how hunger games began. Tiers are bad for the future. This is not “in the hands of all”
This model even with ultrafast getting priced around regular Astra but 200 dollar can't use ultrafast with it? Why? @thsottiaux

So the ultrafast only for 400 dollars plan and not throughout the world. Again Codex charging way too much

Stop hitting yourself
Spend $200 a month and can't access the best stuff anymore.
Insanity.
We would still rather have 4o back, so maybe try listening for a change. #4oForAll
@SemiAnalysis_ is this cerebras or nvidia?
if its the latter then cerebras gotta be dead for any big models, until its chips with 3d dram in 2028 or???
At $60 per million output tokens in the API, it makes sense that Codex access starts at Pro 500. Does an Ultrafast task use up the plan's limits faster than the same task on Sol Standard, or does it count the same?
WTF.
Even with a $200 plan you're not a first world citizen anymore...
