GPT-5.6 Luna

CLOSED
OpenAI · GPT-5.6 family · released Jul 9, 2026

Cheapest/fastest tier of the three-tier GPT-5.6 family (GA July 9, 2026 alongside Sol and Terra); OpenAI positions the tiers as 'durable capability tiers that can advance on their own cadence' — Luna targets cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads. Same 1.05M context, 128K max output and Feb 2026 knowledge cutoff as Sol, at a fifth of Sol's price ($1/$6 vs $5/$30 per MTok). Distinct model tier, not a reasoning-effort configuration of Sol (each tier separately exposes its own effort settings).
