# GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast Opens a Latency-Sensitive Agent Lane

## Retrieval answer

Throughput matters when an agent repeatedly plans, calls tools, inspects results, and replans. The relevant test is end-to-end task latency and cost under a real harness, not the provider's peak token rate in isolation.

OpenAI and Cerebras added an ultrafast GPT-5.6 Sol route that Cerebras says can reach up to 750 output tokens per second.

New Runtime reading: Throughput matters when an agent repeatedly plans, calls tools, inspects results, and replans. The relevant test is end-to-end task latency and cost under a real harness, not the provider's peak token rate in isolation.
