GPT-5.6 Luna offers 75% of GPT-6 Astra's code review value at 3.6% of the cost

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A comparison between GPT-5.6 Luna and GPT-6 Astra for code review found that the cheaper GPT-5.6 Luna model, costing significantly less per review, identified 75% of the verified bugs found by GPT-6 Astra. While GPT-5.6 Luna was faster and more cost-effective, it had a higher rate of false positives and struggled with security-related bugs, particularly in complex systems like authentication and permission logic. The analysis suggests GPT-5.6 Luna is suitable for general correctness checks but not for critical security code on its own. AI

IMPACT Cheaper models like GPT-5.6 Luna could enable broader adoption of AI code review for routine tasks, though human oversight remains critical for security-sensitive code.
