- API pricing for GPT-6 Sol is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, reflecting a 50% cut from GPT-5.6 Sol ($4 / $20).
- API pricing for GPT-6 Luna is $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens, a 50% cut from GPT-5.6 Luna ($0.20 / $1.20).
- On AutomationBench, the presenter states GPT-5.6 Sol scored 28.8% at $0.67 per task, GPT-6 Sol scored 33.2% at $0.27 per task, GPT-6 Astra scored 41.4% at $1.73 per task, and GPT-6 Luna scored 20.7% at $0.037 per task (max effort) or 1.2% at $0.006 per task (low effort).
- On Agents’ Last Exam, GPT-6 Astra reached 59.3% ($6.23/task), while GPT-6 Sol reached 56.4% ($2.93/task at max effort) and 55.4% ($1.67/task at extra-high effort).
- On FrontierCode V1.1 Main, GPT-6 Luna reached 42.4% at $0.11 per task, GPT-6 Sol scored 45.9% at $0.80 per task, and GPT-6 Astra scored 45.3% at $1.70 per task.
- On DeepSWE, the presenter highlights GPT-6 Luna Max reaching a 66.6% score at $0.22 cost per task.
- On OSWorld 2.0 offline set, GPT-6 Luna Max reached 52.7% ($0.27/task) while GPT-6 Astra reached 73.5% ($9.07/task).
- The presenter states GPT-6 Sol and Luna are rolling out to ChatGPT Work and Codex for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users, with desktop app access for Free/Go users and API availability as
gpt-6-solandgpt-6-luna.
Notable quotes
- [00:46] “GPT-5.6 Sol versus GPT-6 Sol: a 50% price reduction.”
- [01:21] “Luna can probably take on 90 to 95% of all the tasks that you have to give it.”
- [06:23] “You get efficiency, you get speed, you get price, but you don’t get absolute raw power and intelligence.”
Assessment
This is an independent analysis and review summarizing OpenAI’s official release notes, pricing, and benchmark figures. The presenter does not run interactive live tests on camera, relying instead on official benchmark slides, charts, and public social media statements.
