OpenAI 推出“Ultrafast”模式，使 GPT-5.6 Sol 的运行速度提升 14 倍
If you’ve ever found yourself wishing that ChatGPT was a little bit quicker on the uptake, OpenAI seems to be answering your prayers. The AI lab has rolled out a new mode called Ultrafast, which it says is designed to seriously accelerate the pace at which its latest and most powerful model, GPT-5.6 Sol, accomplishes its work. 如果你曾希望 ChatGPT 的响应速度能再快一点，OpenAI 似乎正在回应你的祈求。这家人工智能实验室推出了一种名为“Ultrafast”的新模式，旨在大幅提升其最新、最强大的模型 GPT-5.6 Sol 的工作效率。
The company says that Ultrafast can work at 14x the speed of standard processing, delivering up to 750 output tokens — such tokens represent the distinct pieces of text generated by an LLM when it interacts with a human — per second. 该公司表示，Ultrafast 的运行速度可达标准处理速度的 14 倍，每秒可输出多达 750 个 token（token 指大语言模型在与人类交互时生成的独立文本片段）。
“Until now, getting real-time speed typically meant choosing a smaller or more specialized model,” the company said in the blog post on Thursday. “Ultrafast points to progress in a new direction: more useful work per second.” “在此之前，想要获得实时响应速度通常意味着必须选择更小或更专业的模型，”该公司在周四的博客文章中写道。“Ultrafast 指明了一个新的发展方向：每秒完成更多有价值的工作。”
OpenAI’s competitors, like Anthropic, have similarly launched accelerated versions of their models. Claude has fast mode, although it doesn’t deliver the kind of speed that OpenAI is offering here. OpenAI 的竞争对手（如 Anthropic）也推出了类似的模型加速版本。Claude 虽然拥有“快速模式”（fast mode），但其速度并未达到 OpenAI 此处所提供的水平。
OpenAI suggests that this high-octane version of GPT-5.6 Sol can be deployed across a number of different corporate workflows, most notably incident response, customer service and support, financial market analysis, and e-commerce, among other relevant areas. OpenAI 表示，这个高性能版本的 GPT-5.6 Sol 可部署于多种企业工作流程中，最显著的应用场景包括事件响应、客户服务与支持、金融市场分析、电子商务以及其他相关领域。
Ultrafast, which is currently being released in preview, is being powered by OpenAI’s partnership with chipmaker Cerebras. Currently, that preview is only being made available to a small group of customers, although OpenAI says that it will expand access to the feature as “capacity grows.” Ultrafast 目前正处于预览发布阶段，由 OpenAI 与芯片制造商 Cerebras 的合作提供技术支持。目前，该预览版仅向一小部分客户开放，但 OpenAI 表示，随着“容量的增长”，他们将扩大该功能的访问权限。
