What the provider published
developers.openai.com ↗Update · Model: gpt-5.6-sol · Model: gpt-5.6-terra · Model: gpt-5.6-luna · API: v1/responses · API: v1/chat/completions
Starting July 30, GPT-5.6 Luna costs 80% less, while GPT-5.6 Terra costs 20% less. See pricing details.
We're also introducing Fast mode in the API, which replaces our Priority Processing offering. For GPT-5.6 Sol, Fast mode now delivers up to 2.5× faster speeds than standard processing at twice the price. This change is backward compatible: requests tagged priority will automatically use Fast mode.
