OpenAI slashes GPT-5.6 prices by up to 80% amid competition

OpenAI has announced significant price reductions for its GPT-5.6 models, with the Luna variant seeing an 80% cut and Terra a 20% reduction, effective July 30. The company attributes these cuts to increased efficiency in its own infrastructure, partly driven by its Sol model. This move also appears to be a response to competitive pricing from Chinese AI providers and Microsoft's MAI models. AI

IMPACT This price cut could lower the barrier to entry for developers and businesses using OpenAI's models, potentially increasing adoption.

RANK_REASON This is a price adjustment for an existing model, not a new model release or significant capability change.
