GPT-5

 ChatGPT 5.0” you mean the original GPT-5, OpenAI removed it from the ChatGPT model picker because it was retired as newer GPT-5 generations replaced it.

The timeline is roughly:

Aug 2025: Original GPT-5 launched.

Nov 2025: GPT-5.1 began replacing GPT-5. OpenAI kept the original GPT-5 temporarily as a legacy option.

Feb 13, 2026: OpenAI officially retired GPT-5 Instant and GPT-5 Thinking from ChatGPT.

Mar 11, 2026: GPT-5.1 was also retired as newer models took over.

Now (September 2026): OpenAI has moved on to newer GPT-5.x models; for example, GPT-5.6 Sol was introduced for eligible paid ChatGPT plans in July 2026.

OpenAI's stated general reason for retiring older models is to concentrate development and capacity on newer, more capable models as usage moves to them.

Also, you are talking to GPT-5.6 Sol right now, so this is several generations newer than the original GPT-5.0.

If you're asking because you preferred how GPT-5.0 answered compared with 5.6, tell me what you liked about 5.0 (for example trading/chart analysis, shorter answers, or its conversational style), and I can explain the differences.

As of September 23, 2026, OpenAI has GPT-6 models, but availability depends on where you are using ChatGPT:

GPT-6 Astra launched September 3. It is rolling out, and access depends on your plan/product.

GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna were released September 22, but OpenAI says these are currently for ChatGPT Work and Codex, not selectable models in ordinary Chat conversations.

GPT-6 Pro, powered by GPT-6 Astra, is available in regular ChatGPT for certain Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.

For Plus, OpenAI currently says GPT-6 Astra is included in Work and Codex, while regular Chat may show GPT-5.6 options instead.

So if you previously saw GPT-6 and now don't see it in this normal chat, it doesn't necessarily mean GPT-6 was removed from OpenAI. OpenAI is changing where GPT-6 appears and which plans/modes can select it.

Also, I need to correct my previous answer: I said GPT-6 wasn't the model you were referring to. That was incorrect.

GPT-5.6 and GPT-6 Pro in ChatGPT

Learn how GPT-5.6 and GPT-6 Pro work in ChatGPT, which options are available by plan, and how usage limits and availability work.

GPT‑6 Pro, powered by GPT‑6 Astra, is available in ChatGPT for Pro $100, Pro $200, Business and Enterprise plans. 

Enterprise access also depends on your workspace’s model-access permissions. Plus plans include GPT‑6 Astra in ChatGPT Work and Codex.Note: Astra requires Codex CLI version 0.153.0 or newer. Additionally, please update to the latest available ChatGPT Desktop app. If you do not see Astra available in Chat, Work or Codex in the desktop app, ensure that you update your app by clicking Menu > Check for Updates, even if you recently updated the app due to an automatic update notification or by clicking on the update icon in the sidebar.

Overview

GPT-5.6 Sol is designed for complex work across coding, knowledge work and research, cybersecurity, science, computer use, and design. GPT-5.6 Sol Pro is the highest-capability GPT-5.6 option for difficult tasks and longer-running workflows.

GPT-5.6 Sol and a new Thinking slider are rolling out to eligible paid plans. GPT-5.6 Luna is becoming the default model for Free and Go users. GPT-5.6 Sol powers Instant, Medium, High, and Extra High on eligible paid plans, while GPT-5.6 Sol Pro is the Pro option in the GPT-5.6 family. GPT-6 Astra is available as GPT-6 Pro on eligible plans.

Choose a thinking level

Instant provides fast responses for everyday questions. On eligible paid plans, use the Thinking slider to choose how much ChatGPT thinks. Available options depend on your plan and, for managed workspaces, your workspace settings.

• Instant — Fast responses for everyday questions, powered by GPT-5.6 Sol on eligible paid plans and GPT-5.6 Luna on Free and Go.

• Medium — Standard thinking with GPT-5.6 Sol.

• High — Extended thinking with GPT-5.6 Sol.

• Extra High — The highest thinking level available with GPT-5.6 Sol.

• Pro — Pro models for difficult tasks and longer-running workflows. Available models include GPT-5.6 Sol Pro and, on eligible plans, GPT-6 Pro.

On Plus and Pro plans, Instant doesn’t automatically switch to a higher thinking level for complex requests. Asking ChatGPT to “think harder” or “think deeply” won’t automatically switch to a different thinking level. ChatGPT can still switch automatically for safety.

Free and Go users can use Think for harder questions. Think uses GPT-5.6 Luna, not GPT-5.6 Sol.

Enterprise customers may continue to see the existing model picker until the new controls reach their workspace.

For automatic switching to Thinking in managed workspaces, see: ChatGPT Business models and limits and ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu models and limits.

In WWI, France started to build a fake Paris to confuse German bombers.

 

Just after noon on August 30, 1914, about a month into World War I,

a biplane marked with the German iron cross under its wings flew 6,000 feet above France’s capital city. Soon, to the surprise of Parisians below, four explosions rocked the city as the German pilot dropped bombs, by hand, in the world’s first aerial raid on a national capital. As an increasing number of attacks came from German planes (as well as the first wartime Zeppelins), Parisians decided to take drastic action. In late 1917, engineers commissioned by the French government began creating a fake Paris just outside the capital in an effort to fool the German air force. 

The project was led by Fernand Jacopozzi, who famously illuminated the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées years later. One of the first re-creations was the Gare de l’Est railway station, which was a victim of Germany’s first bombing raid four years prior. Jacopozzi used creative electrical lighting and wooden boards on a conveyor belt to even simulate moving trains. He also crafted factory rooftops, fabricated from painted canvas, to simulate the manufacturing center of France’s war effort. However, by November 1918, the war was over, and the faux city was never completed, nor did it ever divert any German ordnance. Still, the idea proved to be a good one: Decades later during the Second World War, the U.S. employed Hollywood set designers to create fake West Coast neighborhoods to camouflage military factories from Japanese air raids. 

Camouflage ဆိုတာ မြန်မာလို “ဖုံးကွယ်ခြင်း၊ ရုပ်ဖျက်ခြင်း၊ ပတ်ဝန်းကျင်နဲ့ ရောနှောသွားအောင် ဖုံးကွယ်ခြင်း” လို့ အဓိပ္ပါယ်ရပါတယ်။

ဥပမာ — The animal uses camouflage to hide from predators.

→ တိရစ္ဆာန်က ရန်သူတွေရဲ့ မျက်စိကနေ လွတ်အောင် ပတ်ဝန်းကျင်နဲ့ ရောနှောပြီး ကိုယ်ကို ဖုံးကွယ်ထားတယ်။

စစ်တပ်မှာဆိုရင် camouflage uniform = ပတ်ဝန်းကျင်နဲ့ ရောနှောဖုံးကွယ်နိုင်အောင် အရောင်စုံပုံစံပါတဲ့ စစ်ဝတ်စုံ ဖြစ်ပါတယ်။

Mary Poppins’ ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ was inspired by the polio vaccine.

September 10, 2026

Love it?

When inspiration strikes, you have to just go with it. Few knew that better than Robert B. Sherman, who, along with his brother Richard, made up one of the best-known songwriting duos in Hollywood his brother Richard, made up one of the best-known songwriting duos in Hollywood history. In addition to The Jungle Book, The Sword in the Stone, and other Disney classics, they collaborated on 1964’s Mary Poppins — including the song “A Spoonful of Sugar,” which was inspired by the polio vaccine. This was recounted by Robert’s son Jeffrey, who in late 2020 shared his story of receiving the vaccine as a child. When asked whether it hurt, Jeffrey told his father, “They put it on a sugar cube and you just ate it. He stared at me, then went to the phone and called my uncle Dick.”

Robert recalled the incident similarly: “I realized at the moment that I had the spark of a winning song,” he wrote in his autobiography Moose: Chapters From My Life. “I couldn’t sleep all night. The lyric mulled around in my mind. The next day, at work, I showed up half an hour earlier than usual so that I could pop the idea on my brother.” Created by virologist Jonas Salk, the polio vaccine (originally administered as a shot) was released in 1955, after which Salk was hailed as a miracle worker and refused to patent it. An oral vaccine, the type Jeffrey Sherman received, was developed later by biomedical scientist Albert Sabin. Within 25 years, the polio vaccine eliminated transmission of the disease in the United States.

Julie Andrews wasn’t the first choice to play Mary Poppins.

Despite giving one of the best-known performances in film history, Julie Andrews wasn’t who the studio had in mind as the iconic musical’s title character. Both Walt Disney and Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers had Bette Davis as their top choice — understandable, given that the two-time Oscar winner (and the first actor to receive a total of 10 nominations) was essentially Hollywood royalty. Angela Lansbury was considered as well. That changed when Robert B. Sherman, who co-wrote the movie’s songs, saw Andrews on TV one night in 1962. “Before she finished her first song, I knew that Julie was the one,” he recalled later. “My brother, Dick, agreed. The next day, we learned that Walt and half the studio had the same idea we did.” Andrews went on to win an Academy Award of her own for the role.

Heavy debt ​issuance, including by companies financing record AI-related spending, has added ​to the move by creating a larger supply of bonds for potential ‌buyers ⁠to choose from and limiting the prices that sellers can demand.

Traders are also focused on the deteriorating U.S. fiscal trajectory, with some arguing that Washington's widening deficits and rising ​debt load ​require a higher ⁠yield premium to keep drawing buyers. A still-resilient U.S. growth outlook has also underpinned the ​move.

Some analysts view 5% on the ​10-year as ⁠a critical line that could make bonds more competitive with stocks, potentially pulling dollars out of equities. Higher Treasury yields ⁠also flow ​through to the broader economy through ​costlier mortgages, auto and consumer loans, and more expensive corporate and municipal borrowing.

Why Farmers can be more expensive

 Why Farmers can be more expensive

Insurance companies don't use identical pricing models. Even with the same driver, vehicle and coverage, Farmers and Progressive can assign different prices based on their own claims experience, repair-cost assumptions, territory, mileage, discounts and other California-permitted rating factors.

California auto insurance prices generally have also risen substantially. The Los Angeles Times reported in March 2026 that California's largest insurers received approval for average increases of about 13% in 2023, 15.4% in 2024 and another 6% in 2025, with rising vehicle/parts/repair costs among the factors.

California also raised its minimum liability requirements beginning January 1, 2025, from the old 15/30/5 minimum to 30/60/15, which can raise premiums for people who previously carried lower limits.

Farmers specifically

Independent 2026 pricing data also finds Farmers relatively expensive. Insure.com's national comparison puts average Farmers full coverage around $257/month, compared with approximately $223/month for Progressive. These are averages—not what any particular driver will pay—but they line up directionally with your quotes.

There are also public comments that sound very similar to your situation. A California Farmers customer wrote in May 2026 that they had been happy with Farmers for years but were shopping because they needed a better price. Another recent reviewer complained about repeated price increases.

On Reddit, one California driver reported Farmers jumping to about $3,600 at renewal while Progressive quoted about $2,100 for similar coverage. Another Bay Area Farmers customer said their insurance cost had roughly doubled over several years. These are individual experiences rather than statistical evidence, but they show you're definitely not the only person seeing a large Farmers/Progressive price gap.

One interesting point about your quotes

Your Progressive quote isn't cheaper simply because you're buying much worse coverage:

Farmers: $1,472
Progressive: $1,131
Savings: $341/6 months = $682/year

And Progressive gives you $50k/$100k uninsured/underinsured bodily-injury coverage, compared with $30k/$60k at Farmers.

Farmers does have the advantage of a $750 comprehensive deductible instead of Progressive's $1,000, plus some differences in glass/declining-deductible benefits.

One thing I would watch carefully is Progressive's renewal price. A low initial quote doesn't guarantee that the same $1,131 price will continue at the next six-month renewal.

If you want, I can also check current California customer experiences with Progressive—especially whether people report big increases after the first 6-month policy. That would be useful before you switch.

yes

Yes. I checked recent 2026 reviews plus California Department of Insurance information, and there are definitely reports of Progressive premiums increasing at renewal. But I wouldn't assume your $1,131 quote will automatically jump dramatically after six months.

What I found

Recent Progressive customers have reported renewal increases even without an accident. For example, an August 2026 reviewer said their premium increased $152 after the first six-month period, despite reporting no accidents or claims. Another May 2026 reviewer reported about a 25% increase after six months, attributing part of it to an introductory/e-sign discount ending. These are individual customer reports, not representative averages.

There are similar discussions on Reddit. Some longtime Progressive customers report increases at successive renewals even without claims, while others point out that insurance rates can change because of broader underwriting and claims-cost changes rather than something the individual driver did. Again, these are anecdotes rather than evidence that your rate will rise by the same amount.

Importantly, I didn't find evidence showing that Progressive has announced a universal large California renewal increase for everyone in 2026. California's Department of Insurance provides a public database where Progressive's actual rate filings can be checked.

California's 2026 complaint study also lists both companies. Farmers Insurance Exchange had 35 justified complaints on approximately 944,456 exposures, while Progressive Select had 15 on approximately 337,462 exposures. Because their customer exposure differs substantially, the raw complaint counts shouldn't be compared by themselves; CDI reports complaint ratios for that reason.

What this means for your $1,131 quote

Your current numbers are:

Farmers: $1,472 / 6 months
Progressive: $1,131 / 6 months
Immediate difference: $341

Suppose Progressive increased your next renewal:

Hypothetical Progressive renewal	6-month premium	Compared with current Farmers
No increase	$1,131	$341 lower
+10%	$1,244	$228 lower
+20%	$1,357	$115 lower
+25%	$1,414	$58 lower
+30%	$1,470	About the same

So Progressive would have to rise roughly 30% from your current quote before reaching Farmers' current $1,472 price.

Also remember that your Progressive coverage is not simply lower across the board: you showed $50k/$100k uninsured/underinsured BI, versus Farmers' $30k/$60k. Farmers does have the better $750 comprehensive deductible, versus Progressive's $1,000.

One thing I'd specifically ask Progressive before purchasing is: “Which discounts included in my $1,131 premium are new-customer or first-policy-term discounts that will disappear at my first renewal?” That can help you understand whether part of the $341 difference is temporary.

House Hold Driver and Undisclosed Driver

 Household Drivers = people who live in your household and may drive your vehicles. This can include your spouse/partner, adult children, relatives, or roommates, depending on the insurer’s rules. The quote shows $100,000 per person / $300,000 per accident bodily-injury liability for this category.

Undisclosed Drivers = someone who lives in your household or regularly uses the vehicle but was not listed/disclosed to the insurance company as a driver. Your quote shows much lower bodily-injury limits for them: $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident, and property-damage liability of only $15,000 per accident.

So, for example, if you have a family member living with you who regularly drives your 2022 Accord but you didn't tell the insurer about that person, they could be treated as an undisclosed driver. That could significantly reduce the coverage available after an accident.

The important part of your quote is:

Driver type	Bodily Injury	Property Damage
Household/listed driver	$100k / $300k	$100k
Undisclosed driver	$30k / $60k	$15k

If everyone in your household who drives your cars is properly listed on the policy, the Undisclosed Drivers limits generally aren't the limits you'd expect to apply to your own normal driving.

If you want, I can also go through your entire quote line by line and tell you which coverages I would consider increasing or decreasing for your 3 vehicles.

US 10-year yields reach 5%, highest

NEW YORK, Sept 14 (Reuters) - 

Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields climbed above 5% on Monday, the highest level since October ​2023 and a closely watched psychological threshold that analysts say ‌could ripple through the U.S. economy and threaten the bull market in stocks by denting the relative appeal of U.S. equities.

“အမေရိကန် စတော့ရှယ်ယာတွေကို ရင်းနှီးမြှုပ်နှံဖို့ ဆွဲဆောင်မှုကို အားနည်းသွားစေခြင်းကြောင့်”ဒီနေရာမှာ denting = အားနည်းစေခြင်း / လျော့ကျစေခြင်း

U.S. equities = အမေရိကန် စတော့ရှယ်ယာများ

Yields have ​surged as traders price in the possibility that the ​Federal Reserve will need to keep interest rates higher ⁠for longer, after a jump in oil prices revived ​fears of renewed inflation pressure. Price pressures have already been ​running well above the central bank's 2% annual target.
