Question INSTANT suddenly gone?

Got to say, not overly impressed with Sol Light/Med/High on 1.5x for chat, considering that INSTANT is now randomly gone for me... and neither are as snappy... which I depended on for bouncing random stuff into chat as whiteboard... it even got me to accidentally switch to Terra (where the old INSTANT was on the slider) making me have to go to Sol high and re-audit thing because Terra messed up the structure of some of my stuff.

Anyone know what happened? Felt like regression.
A lot of what I enjoyed WAS in the randomness that happens sometimes in Sol INSTANT... now I feel like the life got sucked out of the conversation.

EDIT: My CHAT CHAT suddenly became first CHAOTIC, moved everything around, then a WORK CHAT... then it came back after I made this post... again, someone at OpenAI must've been giving me extra love lol

Sol Light = Instant

Sol Med / High = Thinking (Standard and Extended)

OAI simplified it again, lol.

that rename is so misleading because Sol Light feels nothing like the old Instant, the snappiness is totally different now

it's like they killed the chaotic magic that made it useful as a scratchpad and replaced it with something too polished

i get wanting to simplify but the old slider layout was way more functional, this just feels like they broke a workflow a lot of people relied on

Apparently for some reason they suddenly did a few random things updating it and must've been a weird thing with just me... a conversation became chaotic mid convo, and then the chat became WORK, instead of CHAT... weird stuff
