GPT-6.1 Sol feels unlimited, because it runs at 20 tokens per second

Well, well, well. I had Opus 5.5 look for hard evidence, keep digging, and create this table, and here is what it had to say: Right now, 6.1 Sol generates text about 2.5 times slower than 6 Sol and about 2.3 times slower than 5.6 Sol. Isn't it a beautiful courtesy for us paying customers, that not only we shall receive half as much usage for our expensive subscriptions, but with that, token generation speeds that are ROUNDING TO THREE TIMES SLOWER? There isn't any shadow of a doubt in my mind, anymore. They simply want to shave as much compute as possible from their userbase, to free it up for their internal experiments. We are getting optimized like a cattle farm, and not midly. This is what aggressive looks like. They are not giving back, and they are taking all the benefits while we pay the same price. It ain't consuming less usage, you're just getting less done, slower. https://preview.redd.it/zhummubjvosh1.png?width=893&format=png&auto=webp&s=9517bbeb580e1e5ada3057a59db7aaa2094aec76
