GPT-5.6 Sol 优化自身推理效率，服务成本降低 20%

According to OpenAI, the high cost-effectiveness of GPT-5.6 Sol is achieved through self-improvement using GPT-5.6 Sol itself. In inference, the inference engine kernel itself was improved with GPT-5.6 Sol. GPT-5.6 Sol has learned syntax that contributes to the efficiency of ' Triton ' and ' Gluon, ' the programming languages used in OpenAI's kernel, and it is said that kernel optimization has succeeded in reducing end-to-end service costs by as much as 20%. Improvements to speculative decoding were also implemented autonomously. Speculative decoding is an inference acceleration technique that uses a small 'draft model' to predict the next token, and token generation efficiency has been improved by 15% by improving the draft model using GPT-5.6 Sol.

GPT‑5.6 Sol is increasingly helping us find and deliver the next round of gains. Within a human-led process, Sol autonomously rewrote and optimized production kernels, designed and ran hundreds of experiments to improve token generation, and monitored training, intervening when problems arose. The kernel work helped reduce the end-to-end cost of serving the model by 20%, while its experiments increased token-generation efficiency by more than 15%. This work continues, creating a tighter feedback loop: as our models improve and are able to work more autonomously, our ability to improve efficiencies accelerates.

by OpenAI. These efforts, combined with broader kernel advancements from GPT‑5.6 Sol, reduced end-to-end serving costs by 20%. We’ve also heavily invested in verification tooling, such as the open-source tool FpSan⁠(opens in a new window) (Floating-Point Sanitizer), to help validate the correctness of the kernels written by GPT‑5.6 Sol. [...] training instability. The resulting improvements increased token-generation efficiency by more than 15%. [...] We also used GPT‑5.6 Sol to optimize the model’s forward pass: the computation that transforms inputs into next-token predictions. Even when individual operations are fast, excess memory movement, synchronization, and inefficient data layouts can leave GPUs idle. To avoid this, GPT‑5.6 Sol found work that could be precomputed, avoided, or parallelized. With Codex, GPT‑5.6 Sol autonomously rewrote and optimized our production kernels, the core code that executes the mathematical operations that make up the model. This worked in part becaus

a fraction of the price, and it's slightly ahead. Here's Claude Opus 5 low, coming in slightly lower than GLM 5.2, slightly lower than 5.6 Luna, but it is really expensive at about 40 cents per task completion. So, Luna is just going to be an absolute workhorse of a model. And all of that is great. But, that's not the crazy part. The crazy part is they used their Frontier model GPT-5.6 Soul to find all of these performance gains. That allowed them to drop the price of their other models. So, just yesterday after deployment, we applied GPT-5.6 Soul to advance the frontier of efficiency by making itself more efficient to run. The results: 20% lower serving costs from production GPU kernel improvements, 15% better token generation efficiency from improved speculative decoding. And if you [...] with the marketplace, it's basically like an App Store, but for agents. And of course, you can find my loopy skill in the marketplace for free.

a lot of labs do this. We're seeing that more models are getting smarter at doing this. But, what they're saying is that instead of just focusing on creating a smarter model, OpenAI focused on creating an efficient model, and there's a reason for this. As AI deployment gets more and more broader and more and more people are adopting AI, efficiency becomes a critical thing for most labs because now all of these labs have to serve their strongest models, which are way more energy demanding compared to previous models to a broader audience, so efficiency becomes important. And through applying GPT 5.6 soul to make more efficiency improvements, The model is now 20% lower when it comes to serving cost from production GPU kernel improvements. So, that is a big number for a big company like [...] So, that is a big number for a big company like OpenAI. 20% lower servicing cost basically means millions or I don't know, it could be in the billions. I don't think so, probably millions, hundreds o
