   OpenAI lowers prices for some GPT-5.6 models

   当地时间7月30日，OpenAI宣布优化GPT-5.6系列模型定价和性能，以提升企业用户AI应用的性价比。其中，GPT-5.6 Luna模型价格下调80%，GPT-5.6 Terra模型价格下调20%。此次降价也将反映在使用Codex和ChatGPT Work时的付费订阅额度计算中。此外，OpenAI在API中推出Fast模式，取代此前的Priority Processing服务。GPT-5.6 Sol在Fast模式下处理速度最高可提升至标准模式的2.5倍，价格为标准处理模式的两倍，且模型能力保持不变。（界面）
