Rolling out - 80% lower prices on Luna - 20% lower prices on Terra - faster speeds on GPT-5.6 Sol in /fast mode - ~ 10X cheaper auto-approve mode ("review for me" in the app), which now uses Luna to prevent
AI visual analysis: The image is a scatter plot titled "Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1" showing AI model performance (intelligence score) versus cost per task on a log scale, with GPT-5.6 Luna achieving the highest score (~51) at one of the lowest costs (~$0.07/task), positioned prominently above competitors like Claude Opus 5 Low, GLM-5.2 Max, and Gemini 3.6 Flash. This visualization directly supports the post's announcement by illustrating how the newly updated GPT-5.6 Luna delivers top-tier intelligence at significantly reduced pricing compared to similarly capable models, while lower-tier options like Claude Haiku Reasoning and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite lag notably behind in the cost-to-performance tradeoff.
· 2026-07-30T21:33:22+00:00Preliminary analysis of the implications of the price cut on Luna and Terra (based on DeepSWE): - Medium Sol is no longer useful for anything. Luna Max is better and 3x cheaper. The same applies to Terra xhigh. - Terra max starts to make sense. Sol xhigh > Terra max > Sol high
AI visual analysis: This DeepSWE score chart compares the efficiency and cost of different models, showing the "Luna max zone" and supporting the analysis that Luna Max offers better value than Medium Sol. The chart displays metrics like "Sol xhigh," "Sol high," "Terra max," and "Luna max" against "Avg cost per task."
· 2026-07-30T19:43:50+00:00Luna has incredible value now Terra is like Sonnet completely useless I don't know why you would use them
AI visual analysis: This scatter plot, titled "Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1," compares various AI models on intelligence score versus cost per task, showing GPT-5.6 Luna achieving the highest score (~51) at a relatively low cost (~$0.06), while Claude models like Sonnet 5 High ($0.35, ~42 score) and Haiku Reasoning ($0.20, ~30 score) appear far less cost-efficient. The chart visually supports the post's claim, illustrating how GPT-5.6 Luna delivers significantly more intelligence per dollar than the underperforming Claude models like Sonnet.
· 2026-07-30T17:44:40+00:00I updated CS Bench with the new Luna and Terra pricing and GPT 5.6 Luna is now by far the best option being cheaper than the open weight models at significantly higher quality
AI visual analysis: This model leaderboard shows that "GPT 5.6 Luna xhigh" has a high score of 86.2 with a low estimated cost of $0.4754 per task, supporting the claim that it's a superior option.
· 2026-07-30T17:25:17+00:00Also remarkable that OpenAI released the Terra Luna models and then the FTX guy's Anthropic hedge fund blew up.
· 2026-07-30T09:21:59+00:00Proof we're living in a simulation: >Sol, TerraLuna summer 2022 in crypto >Biggest crypto supercycle fund blows up >OpenAi launches Sol, Terra, Luna models summer of 2026 >Biggest ai supercycle fund blows up
AI visual analysis: The image features actor Viggo Mortensen with subtitles saying "Someone once told me time is a flat circle, where everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again." The caption references the "True Detective" flat circle monologue to humorously support the post's theory of cyclical simulation events in crypto and AI.
· 2026-07-30T17:38:43+00:00this is wild.. openAI just cut gpt 5.6 luna’s price by 80%, terra’s by 20%, and made sol available up to 2.5x faster.. they literally used gpt 5.6 to make itself cheaper to run, so now the loop is basically: > better models help improve the infrastructure > inference gets
AI visual analysis: The image is a scatter plot titled "Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1" showing the trade-off between cost per task (x-axis, log scale from $0.01 to $1.00) and Intelligence Index Score (y-axis from 25 to 55) for various AI models, with GPT-5.6 Luna highlighted as achieving the highest intelligence score (~51) at a relatively low cost (~$0.06), positioned favorably against competitors like GLM-5.2 Max, Claude Opus 5 Low, Gemini 3.6 Flash, and MiniMax Default. The chart visually supports the post's claim that GPT-5.6 Luna delivers top-tier intelligence at a fraction of the cost of similarly capable models, illustrating the efficiency gains from using better models to improve infrastructure and reduce inference costs.
· 2026-07-30T19:34:43+00:00OpenRouter keeps the 50% off on Luna and Terra Just give it for free atp lol, crazy
· 2026-07-30T17:49:31+00:00YAY! OpenAI drops prices on Terra and Luna Luna by 80% - a very good replacement for Gemini Flash 3.1 Terra by 20% - Terra is not quite Sonnet-level but is a reasonable model. That said neither model is as good as Sol where the price is unchanged
· 2026-07-30T18:19:15+00:00Big news across the GPT-5.6 family: • Luna is now 80% cheaper • Terra is now 20% cheaper • Sol runs 2.5× faster with Fast mode • Auto-review in the app is now powered by Luna and 10× cheaper
AI visual analysis: The image is a scatter plot titled "Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1" showing various AI models plotted by Intelligence Index Score (y-axis, 25-55) against Cost per task in USD on a log scale (x-axis, $0.01-$1.00). GPT-5.6 Luna achieves the highest intelligence score (~51) at ~$0.07 per task, positioning it favorably against competitors like Claude Opus 5 Low, Gemini 3.6 Flash, GLM-5.2 Max, and DeepSeek V4 Pro, demonstrating that the recent 80% price reduction highlighted in the post makes Luna a leading cost-efficient high-intelligence model.
· 2026-07-30T19:25:40+00:00OpenAI did a great job naming 5.6 Luna, Terra and Sol… i can constantly navigate from one model to another without confusion
AI visual analysis: A scatter plot titled "Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1" comparing various AI models on a log-scale cost-versus-performance axis, showing GPT-5.6 Luna achieving the highest intelligence score (~51) at just $0.05 per task, outperforming pricier models like Claude Opus 5 Low and Gemini 3.6 Flash. The chart highlights why OpenAI's naming convention (Luna, Terra, Sol) makes it easy to switch between models—since each variant offers a different cost-performance tradeoff, users can easily reference names like "Luna" without confusion.
· 2026-07-30T17:43:02+00:00Earlier: GPT-5.6 Sol made itself 15-20% more efficient Now: Luna -80%, Terra -20%, Sol Fast mode The discounts we earned
AI visual analysis: A scatter plot titled 'Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v1.0' showing the relationship between cost per token and artificial analysis intelligence score for various AI models including GPT-5 Low, GPT-5 High, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Gemini 2.5 Pro Plus.
· 2026-07-30T20:34:51+00:00Now is the time to give terra and luna a shot. they're amazing models, some really great use-cases are opened up with cheaper GPT 5.6.
