OpenAI recently released the GPT-5.6 series, featuring the Sol, Terra, and Luna models. Many developers immediately paired the flagship Sol model with the open-source 'Superpowers' framework for coding tasks, only to find the execution speed unbearably slow and their usage quotas rapidly depleted.
Independent developer @Lonely__MH issued a series of stark warnings on X, urging users to disable the framework immediately:
π€ Speechless... why did I only discover this secret today?! A piece of advice: if you are using GPT-5.6, please immediately, right now delete the Superpowers series Skills! Don't ask, just do it. β Lonely__MH (X / Twitter)
Explaining the root cause of the performance collapse, he added:
π Explaining the reason for deleting Superpowers: GPT-5.6 Sol model itself is already extremely strong and highly agentic, the legacy Skills instead cause frequent tool mis-invocations, context pollution, massive token explosions, left-right brain conflict, and tasks getting stuck. β Lonely__MH (X / Twitter)
The issue stems from a severe conflict between the model's native reasoning capabilities and the framework's logic. The Sol model itself is already highly agentic and optimized for deep reasoning. Meanwhile, the legacy Superpowers framework forces a heavy, multi-step planning process.
When these two "brains" collide, they actively fight each other in a left-right brain conflict. Even minor code edits trigger frequent tool mis-invocations and context pollution. The agent generates endless invalid test cases and checklists, quickly burning through quotas and frequently getting stuck in infinite loops.
Recommendation: If you are developing with GPT-5.6 Sol, you must disable heavy-duty legacy frameworks like Superpowers. Compute should be spent on actual engineering implementation, not endless internal conflicts.
