The GPT-5.6 Sol price cut is loud; the real opportunity is unit economics
At re-verification, OpenRouter's official model page still showed 50% off and now listed $2 input and $10 output per million tokens. The Hacker News discussion had 635 points and 448 comments.
Why it was selectedA sharp model-cost change rewrites the unit economics of batch, long-context, and high-frequency agent workflows. The useful move is to recalculate a real workload's costs and look for offerings that only now pencil out.

V2EX builder post: 我的产品陷入绝望
New V2EX create-node thread at 79 replies at capture time. The author's own account: early this year they spotted a paying AI tattoo-generator product at the tail of Toolify's revenue chart, judged the demand real and the bar low, and spent half a year building InkStudio.ai; the full retrospective lives in the thread.
Why it was selectedThe create node is V2EX's builder board: authors post their own projects and the community validates them live — a first-hand signal for independent projects.
CaveatFacts come from the posting snapshot and a discussion snapshot; reply volume is attention, not proof of the product.
