OpenAI has launched the next generation GPT-5.6 series models, currently available only to trusted partners using Codex and the API

According to official news, OpenAI has officially launched the preview version of the next-generation GPT-5.6 series models, including the flagship model Sol, the balanced model Terra, and the fast low-cost model Luna. GPT-5.6 introduces a brand new maximum reasoning effort and features a super strong mode that accelerates complex tasks through sub-agents.The flagship model Sol introduces the Ultra mode, which combines maximum reasoning intensity with sub-agent collaboration. In the Terminal-Bench 2.1 command line workflow test, Sol achieved a score of 88.8%, which increased to 91.9% in Ultra mode, surpassing GPT-5.5's 83.4% and Claude Fable 5's 88.0%. The mid-range model Terra performs close to GPT-5.5 while being priced at half, and the lightest model Luna is designed specifically for everyday automation tasks. Sol is priced at $5 per million input tokens and $30 for output, and it supports reducing secondary call costs by utilizing prompt caching.In terms of security, the security assessment confirmed that Sol did not exceed the critical thresholds of the Preparedness Framework cybersecurity. OpenAI has invested over 700,000 A100 equivalent GPU hours in automated red team exercises, equipping the entire series of models with a defense stack that includes rejection mechanisms, real-time abuse classifiers, and account-level audits. Although the current limited release follows the U.S. government's security framework, OpenAI emphasizes that it does not want a government-led access mechanism to become the long-term default model, as it would limit defenders' access to cutting-edge tools.

NEAR announces the next major protocol upgrade SPICE, which will shorten the block time to 200 milliseconds

NEAR officially announced the next major protocol upgrade SPICE (Separation of Consensus and Execution), which is a key step towards Nightshade 3. After the upgrade is completed, the NEAR block time will be reduced from the current 600 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds, achieving about a 3x speedup, approaching the maximum speed allowed by physical conditions. The core of SPICE is to decouple the consensus layer from the execution layer, allowing validators to complete block consensus without waiting for transaction execution, thereby reducing latency and supporting more complex, time-consuming transactions.NEAR stated that this upgrade will be the largest underlying architecture change since Stateless Validation in 2024. After the upgrade, the transaction experience of applications such as NEAR Intents and near.com will be further enhanced. Defuse Labs CEO Alex Shevchenko indicated that the final confirmation time for NEAR is expected to drop to about 0.4 seconds, faster than Visa's standard of about 3 seconds, achieving a payment experience close to "completed in the blink of an eye."NEAR also mentioned that faster block times are crucial for the AI Agent economy, enabling high-speed payments and complex transactions between agents, and allowing longer tasks to be executed across multiple blocks. Additionally, SPICE will pave the way for Nightshade 3 and lay the foundation for achieving cross-shard atomic execution in the future. The NEAR development team stated that this will help address the development complexity and potential vulnerabilities brought by asynchronous environments, improving network scalability and security.
