Suggest trying it out yourself: Ask for something difficult from GPT-6 Sol and Opus 5.5 and watch what each one does. The difference is stark.
Edit: Defining "difficult" as a complex coding or systems task (or even series of them in a single prompt).

This news and thread is about 6.1 Sol, not 6 Sol. You haven’t even had time to do a fair comparison yet.

Oh yes, I know GPT-6 Sol is ... quite not up to par. At least it's not as bad as GPT-5.6 Terra I suppose.
Are you comparing Opus 5.5 with GPT-6 Sol or GPT-6.1 Sol? Because they are different models.
For my personal experience, antropic model have better user experience except for 4.7 and 4.8 though. 4.7 and 4.8 feels like expensive downgrade of 4.6 to me (I didn't know why these two should even exist)
However it's less willing to obey your instruction so it's less usable for general runtine flows.
I'm not an OpenAI simp, but how anyone can have any opinion on the performance of these models in less than a day - let alone a few hours - is beyond me.
A pity I have to use claude code to try this, that I can't use the tools I know and love and have built around (opencode).
(I did use some CC for Fable when it came out, and it was... ok. Not the worst thing ever.)
I found that 6 Sol is dogshit; have you tried o5.5 vs. 5.6 sol? curious to hear if your experience is still the same in that regard
