Big news this week.
OpenAI has launched a new set of AI models called GPT-5.6.
There are three versions. Sol is the most powerful, Terra is the balanced everyday one, and Luna is the fast, low-cost option.
They've also started rolling out "ChatGPT Work", a workspace that connects to your apps and files and can build documents and presentations from a single prompt.
Why this matters for accountants:
- More capable models usually mean more of the fiddly admin work can be handed off
- Having a cheap, fast option and a powerful one lets you pick the right tool for the job
- The pace isn't slowing down ... staying curious is now part of the job
I'll be honest with you ... I haven't tested any of this yet, and I'd take the bigger claims with a pinch of salt until we've seen it work on real accounting tasks. New and impressive doesn't always mean useful.
So here's my question for you ๐
