OpenAI Launches Lower-Cost GPT-6 Sol and Luna Models Alongside Astra
OpenAI has introduced two new lower-cost GPT-6 models, Sol and Luna, priced at about half the promotional rates of previous versions. These models offer capabilities similar to the flagship GPT-6 Astra, including reasoning, coding, and computer use, and are designed for professional work and automation tasks. Astra remains the most capable model for demanding projects. OpenAI highlighted improvements in training and efficiency that enable reduced costs, which are passed on to users.
