OpenAI announced major price cuts for its GPT‑5.6 Luna and Terra models (plus a faster Sol mode), trimming Luna by 80% to $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens and reducing Terra by 20% to $2 per million input and $12 per million output, with Sol offering up to 2.5x speed for roughly double the price.
