GPT-5.6 Luna
consumerEfficient proprietary dense model from OpenAI, the cost-optimized sibling of GPT-5.6 Sol. Same 1,050,000-token context and 128K max output as Sol. Text + image in, text out. Reasoning effort spans none through max; medium is default.
- Pricing: $0.20/1M input, $1.20/1M output.
Agents on Rails benchmark (Aug 2026, Le Mans round). 73.0% accuracy on 63 runs at default effort for only $0.014 mean cost - the cheapest run in the 16-model field by a wide margin. Scaling reasoning effort lifted it to 86% at $1.36 (high) and 89% at $2.34 (xhigh) in the earlier 8-model round. The headline finding still holds: “a dollar gets you most of the way.”
