> **Visual Note:** A line chart from OpenRouter titled "Only the discounted models bent upward" shows daily token usage by model from July 8 to August 19, 2025, indexed to pre-period average. The Luna model (green) spiked dramatically to ~2,600+ index points after the July 27 discount, peaking even higher after the August 12 50% discount, while Terra (blue) rose modestly to ~600, and control models (Terra/Luna pre-Aug 16, Sol 1.1x, Other OpenAI 0.73x, all other models 1.05x) remained flat—visually illustrating the Jevons Paradox where heavy discounts on Terra and Luna caused token consumption to explode 13.8x.  

> 
> "What happened when GPT 5.6 Terra and Luna were heavily discounted on OpenRouter?

Token usage exploded by 13.8x

Jevons Paradox = as technology makes the use of a resource more efficient, total consumption of that resource increases rather than decreases"

> **Visual Note:** A cosplayer in a black-and-white Luna cosplay hugs a friend at what appears to be a convention, with a "hama" store sign visible in the background. The caption humorously ties the cosplayer's costume to the popular Mobile Legends hero Luna, framing her lack of healing abilities as a playful gaming joke.

> "Apparently, when you select GPT-5.6 Sol, you may not be getting just Sol.

Codex telemetry shows Luna running hidden auxiliary turns in the background even when the user explicitly selected GPT-5.6 Sol.

So the visible model may only be the orchestrator. The real product is"

> **Visual Note:** A pricing comparison table shows zai/glm-5.3-flash (50% off) at $0.15/M input with 0.5s latency and 191tps throughput, versus openai/gpt-5.6-luna (80% off) at $1/M input with 2.3s latency and 162tps throughput. The image supports the post's point that despite GPT-5.6-luna's hefty 80% discount, it still costs roughly 5x more than the open-source GLM model, which also delivers faster latency and higher throughput.

> **Visual Note:** The image is a promotional advertisement featuring a young woman with shoulder-length dark hair holding a makeup palette, surrounded by pink-themed graphics including a bow, heart, moon, cherries, and compact. The top displays "LUNA x Qoo10" with the date range "8/28(金)~9/9(水)", while the bottom features the large stylized text "MEGAWARI" in pink balloon-style lettering. The image aligns with "#REI for luna" by showcasing a model promoting LUNA cosmetics' collaboration campaign, likely featuring Rei as the campaign ambassador for this special beauty promotion.

> **Visual Note:** The image is an OpenRouter chart titled "Only the discounted models bent upward," showing that token volume spiked across multiple AI models, with heavily discounted ones like GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna seeing roughly 13.8x growth, illustrating how lower inference prices increased total compute demand rather than reducing it.  

> 
> "OpenRouter says heavy discounts on GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna sent token use up 13.8x.

OpenAI cofounder 
@gdb
 called it Jevons Paradox. Lower prices drove more workloads, so cheaper inference can raise total compute demand instead of cutting it."

> "Nearly the entire LUNC supply in circulation was minted in just one week in May 2022!

As LUNA's price fell during the UST collapse, the amount of LUNA minted per 1 UST increased exponentially. As a result, the supply grew by approximately 20,000 times, reaching trillions."

> **Visual Note:** The image shows a "Luna Reserve" progress bar at 100% remaining, with text indicating "Advanced models reset 12:37 PM" and buttons for "Upgrade" and "Reset usage." This visually confirms the post's claim that Codex provides a 5.6 Luna reserve after exceeding normal usage limits, displaying the full reserve status on the user's dashboard.

Codex apparently now gives you a 5.6 Luna reserve after you burn through your normal limits."

> **Visual Note:** The image is a Simpsons-style parody showing Homer Simpson as a "doom preacher" with glowing red eyes, holding a bell and a sign that reads "THE BULLRUN IS NEAR," with a Bitcoin logo in the corner. The meme humorously frames the incoming crypto bull run as an apocalyptic event, aligning with the post's bullish sentiment that fading Bitcoin's breakout, along with altcoins and specifically $LUNC, will lead to FOMO for skeptics.
