如何高效使用 GPT-5.6
In this article, I’ll discuss how to get the most out of the latest OpenAI model, GPT 5.6, which you can use in Codex to effectively code powerful applications. 在本文中，我将探讨如何充分利用 OpenAI 最新的模型 GPT-5.6，你可以通过 Codex 使用它来高效编写强大的应用程序。
In this article, I will give my first impressions of the newest OpenAI model, GPT-5.6. The model was released a few days ago, and I’ve gotten the chance to test it extensively since the release and compare it against other models such as GPT-5.5, Opus 4.8, and Fable 5. I’ll give my judgment on the model, share my experiences with it, and explain how to work as effectively as possible with it. 在本文中，我将分享对 OpenAI 最新模型 GPT-5.6 的初步印象。该模型于几天前发布，自发布以来，我有机会对其进行了广泛测试，并将其与 GPT-5.5、Opus 4.8 和 Fable 5 等其他模型进行了对比。我将对该模型做出评价，分享我的使用心得，并解释如何尽可能高效地使用它。
I believe it’s a model with some pros and some cons compared to the alternative Anthropic models such as Opus 4.8 and Fable 5. But overall, it’s a very good model, and I definitely recommend trying it out. 我认为，与 Anthropic 的 Opus 4.8 和 Fable 5 等替代模型相比，该模型既有优点也有缺点。但总的来说，它是一个非常出色的模型，我绝对推荐大家尝试一下。
Why use GPT-5.6?
为什么要使用 GPT-5.6？
First of all, I’d like to cover why you should care about this article, and in this case, it’s why you should care about GPT-5.6 and how to use it effectively. First of all, the reason you should care about GPT-5.6 is that the previous generation of the same model, GPT-5.5, was a great model and a model I personally used extensively. 首先，我想说明你为什么要关注这篇文章，具体来说，就是你为什么要关注 GPT-5.6 以及如何高效使用它。首先，你之所以应该关注 GPT-5.6，是因为它的上一代模型 GPT-5.5 本身就是一个非常棒的模型，也是我个人广泛使用的模型。
I believe GPT-5.5 was basically on par with Opus 4.8 in a lot of tasks, and in some tasks, such as code review, it was far superior in my opinion. Thus, you should of course care about the next generation of the same model, GPT-5.6, as it should, on paper, be better. 我认为 GPT-5.5 在许多任务中基本与 Opus 4.8 持平，而在代码审查等某些任务中，在我看来它要优越得多。因此，你当然应该关注该系列的下一代模型 GPT-5.6，因为它在理论上应该表现得更好。
Furthermore, GPT-5.6 has some quirks which you should definitely know about. For example, the model comes in three different sizes: Sol, Terra, and Luna. Where Sol refers to the Sun, Terra refers to the Earth, and Luna refers to the Moon, representing the sizes of the models. Sol is the best one and the frontier model. 此外，GPT-5.6 还有一些你应该了解的特性。例如，该模型有三种不同的大小：Sol、Terra 和 Luna。其中 Sol 代表太阳，Terra 代表地球，Luna 代表月球，分别代表模型的大小。Sol 是最强、最前沿的模型。
They also, with each model, released different reasoning levels, which can make the model think for longer or shorter before providing answers. The simple trade-off is that if you make the model reason for longer, it will give higher-quality responses, but it will take longer to provide responses. 他们还为每个模型发布了不同的推理级别，这可以让模型在提供答案之前进行更长或更短时间的思考。简单的权衡是：如果你让模型进行更长时间的推理，它会给出更高质量的回答，但提供回答所需的时间也会更长。
My thoughts on GPT-5.6
我对 GPT-5.6 的看法
First, let me cover my overall thoughts on GPT-5.6. Overall, I would say it’s an improvement over GPT-5.5 in basically every aspect. It’s just a bit better than GPT-5.5 for everything. 首先，让我谈谈我对 GPT-5.6 的总体看法。总的来说，我认为它在几乎所有方面都比 GPT-5.5 有所改进。它在各方面都比 GPT-5.5 稍微好一点。
I’ve also tried the model for actual implementations, and I believe GPT-5.6 is able to work for longer to complete tasks and is basically more thorough in the way it does its work. I still believe GPT-5.5 was pretty good at getting tasks done, but I think GPT-5.6 is slightly better. However, it’s worth noting that I don’t think this is a very strong improvement; I believe it’s an incremental improvement over the previous GPT model. 我也尝试过将该模型用于实际开发，我认为 GPT-5.6 能够更持久地完成任务，并且在工作方式上基本更加彻底。我仍然认为 GPT-5.5 在完成任务方面表现不错，但我认为 GPT-5.6 稍微好一些。不过值得注意的是，我不认为这是一个巨大的飞跃；我认为它只是在前代 GPT 模型基础上的渐进式改进。
One downside I would like to note is that if you use GPT-5.6 with extra high or even ultra thinking, it basically drains your usage limits right away. 我想指出的一个缺点是，如果你在“超高（extra high）”甚至“极致（ultra）”思维模式下使用 GPT-5.6，它基本上会瞬间耗尽你的使用限额。
How to effectively apply GPT-5.6 to solve problems
如何高效应用 GPT-5.6 解决问题
Now I’ll get into how to effectively use GPT-5.6 to solve problems. The number one thing you should start doing right away, especially if you’re using Claude Code, is to have GPT perform your code reviews. In my opinion, you mostly don’t need human code reviews anymore. 现在我将介绍如何高效使用 GPT-5.6 来解决问题。你现在应该立即开始做的第一件事，特别是如果你正在使用 Claude Code，就是让 GPT 来执行代码审查。在我看来，你基本上不再需要人工代码审查了。
