   OpenAI has released two new models, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, built on top of GPT-6 Extra but designed to be faster and more affordable for work at scale. Caching and inference efficiency have improved, and OpenAI is passing those savings along through cheaper API pricing. Both models are rolling out now in ChatGPT and Codex for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education users, and both are already live in the API. Free and Go users can try Luna in the desktop app as well. OpenAI claims Sol and Luna improve on their GPT-5.6 counterparts in coding, computer use, factuality, and alignment. However, independent evaluations from Artificial Analysis show intelligence and coding scores roughly level with GPT-5.6, with gains on some tests offset by regressions on others.
