This is the single best time to switch to GPT. OpenAI just cut GPT-5.6 Luna by 80% and Terra by 20%. Just weeks after shipping them. > Luna went from $1/$6 to $0.20/$1.20 > Terra from $2.50/$15 down to $2/$12. > While Sol stays $5/$30 + new Fast mode with up to 2.5x speed. https://t.co/RMcucWxvaz

this is wild.. openAI just cut gpt 5.6 luna’s price by 80%, terra’s by 20%, and made sol available up to 2.5x faster.. they literally used gpt 5.6 to make itself cheaper to run, so now the loop is basically: > better models help improve the infrastructure > inference gets

OpenAI's "intelligence too cheap to meter" updates that @thsottiaux alluded to. 1. GPT-5.6 Luna cost reduced 80% 2. GPT-5.6 Terra cost reduced 20% 3. GPT-5.6 Sol 'fast' in the API mode gives 2.5x speed at 2x cost I haven't used Luna or Terra once, should I? Cost reductions

OpenAI is hoping to claw back some users from open-weight models via Terra and then upsell Terra and Sol to them once they're converted. Smart move.
