Work mode Sol 6.1 usage vs speed?
A user on reddit.com is questioning the cost-effectiveness of Sol 6.1, noting that while it is advertised as inexpensive for API usage, its slow performance within the ChatGPT harness makes them doubt if it is truly frugal. The user speculates that the perceived low usage might simply be a consequence of its slow speed rather than genuine efficiency.

I understand Sol 6.1 is supposed to be inexpensive regarding API usage. But in the ChatGPT harness, it’s SO slow that I’m not sure if it’s really frugal or usage goes down slowly just because it’s so slow.
