A recent article discusses the practical implications of OpenAI's GPT-5.6 model, which has evolved from a single endpoint to three distinct tiers: Sol, Terra, and Luna. The author argues that defaulting to the most advanced model, Sol, can be an expensive engineering mistake. Instead, users should focus on selecting the appropriate tier based on task-specific cost and quality, considering factors like retry rates, reviewer time, and answer length. AI
