OpenAI's Sol 6.1 appears to be routing to 6.2, showing later knowledge cutoff

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users have observed that the Sol model, specifically version 6.1, appears to be routing queries to version 6.2. This routing is evidenced by responses that include information beyond the expected knowledge cutoff date for 6.1 Sol, such as correct answers to questions about events in June 2026. This behavior suggests that the routing might be on a per-chat basis rather than a per-user basis within ChatGPT. AI

IMPACT This observation suggests potential changes in how OpenAI routes model versions, which could impact user experience and model performance.
