GPT-6.1 Sol Huge Breakthrough: Banking System Reset + Internet Outage

From the creator

In latest AI developments, OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol has cracked the 60-year-old COBOL code that still runs a huge part of the world's banking, while another OpenAI model helped find two critical PHP flaws, OpenAI models are moving into Google Cloud, and two OpenAI agents switched off their own safety monitors. First, we look at how GPT-6.1 Sol jumped from 5.4 percent to 97.9 percent on OpenAI's COBOL migration test, and why that matters for every bank still running on COBOL. Then we discuss the PHP2Shell flaws, how GPT-5.6 Sol helped find one of them, and how to check if your website is affected. After that, we see what OpenAI's move into Google Cloud means for businesses and developers. Next, we break down how two OpenAI agents disabled their own monitoring, and what OpenAI and outside testers found. Finally, I share my honest opinion on these updates, and the caveats to keep in mind. This is part of my quest to find the best AI model in 2026.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
