| The key detail is what does not change: Ultrafast is a service tier, not a new model. It runs GPT-5.6 Sol, with the difference being how quickly the model generates responses. | ||

I don't think this table is solving any purpose, if anything these could be bullet points, some of the points we already covered above.

| When frontier intelligence stops costing you 30 seconds, it moves into parts of a business that previously could not wait for it. OpenAI names five categories from its preview customers. | ||

Again, I think these are much more suited to be bullet points than table. In this table, we're not comparing anything.

| # How OpenAI uses Ultrafast internally | ||
|
|
||
| Internal usage is usually the more honest signal, and OpenAI describes two workflows. |

"honest signal" sounds very much like AI, we should rephrase
|
|
||
| That last one is where most teams misdiagnose the problem. Measure before you chase a faster tier: instrument time-to-first-token, tokens-per-second, and total request time separately. If generation is 40% of your p95 and network plus tool calls are the rest, a 14x faster model gives you nowhere near a 14x faster product. | ||
|
|
||
| The uncomfortable follow-on is that at 750 tokens per second, the model stops being the slow part and your infrastructure becomes it. A cold-start function, an unindexed query, or a chatty auth check that was invisible behind 30 seconds of generation is suddenly the thing your user is waiting on. |

The word "uncomfortable" tagged with truth or in this case "follow on" is also sounding like AI
| * [Auth](/docs/products/auth) for accounts and sessions, and [Storage](/docs/products/storage) for uploads that feed into prompts. | ||
| * [Sites](/docs/products/sites) to deploy your frontend next to the backend it calls, served over Appwrite's [global network](/docs/products/network). | ||
