OpenAI has significantly reduced the pricing for its GPT-5.6 Luna and Terra models, with Luna seeing an 80% decrease to $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens. The company attributes these price cuts to efficiency gains achieved by its GPT-5.6 Sol model, which autonomously rewrote GPU kernels, leading to a 20% reduction in service costs. Despite these technical savings, the price reductions appear to be a strategic move to compete with lower-cost alternatives from Microsoft and Chinese providers, as well as Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5.
