OpenAI is testing a new "Ultrafast" mode for its GPT-5.6 Sol model, capable of generating up to 750 tokens per second, which is up to 14 times faster than its standard mode. This feature, powered by Cerebras, aims to provide both speed and strong AI performance for tasks requiring rapid responses, such as real-time analysis and code checking. Separately, Microsoft is consolidating its consumer and business Copilot applications, removing the animated mascot Mico and several other features as part of the integration. AI
IMPACT This ultrafast mode could significantly speed up AI-assisted workflows for tasks requiring real-time data processing and analysis.
