I wonder why they didn't compare with GPT-5.6-sol, only Terra?

Clearly they're positioning it as a mid model.

  • Which is in itself a bit weird as mid models nowadays are a golden mean fallacy. Terra is much less popular than both Luna (cost-sensitive) and Sol (performance-sensitive).

    Claude Sonnet is a weird exception to the mid models because Anthropic doesn't do much with Haiku and Opus is too big.

    • I don’t know where you get your statistics, but I love Terra and use it all of the time. It is the default fastest model in ChatGPT/Codex today. I saw today a notice saying that the model had hit capacity briefly

Haven't you seen the kernel optimization case study at the bottom of the page? They compare against GPT-5.6 Sol and their model is worse.

Their bigger model is not ready - watermelon code name was still being prepared for release as of a month ago
