13 Aug 2026, 6:00 PM	OpenAI News	6.5	Previewing Ultrafast mode: GPT-5.6 Sol at up to 14X the speed OpenAI is previewing an 'Ultrafast' API tier for GPT-5.6 Sol that delivers up to 14× the speed of Standard processing, generating up to 750 output tokens per second. The service is powered by Cerebras inference hardware, marking a notable infrastructure partnership for OpenAI. It launches first via the OpenAI API. Why: If you build latency-sensitive AI features (real-time agents, voice assistants, interactive copilots), 750 tokens/sec is a concrete threshold that could shift your architecture from streaming-with-spinners to near-instant full responses. The Cerebras partnership signals that non-NVIDIA inference silicon is reaching frontier-model production, which matters for cost and vendor-lock-in planning. Malaysian builders shipping API-based products should benchmark whether Ultrafast pricing justifies migrating workloads currently on Standard tier. ai-inference openai cerebras api latency
