OpenAI Slashes GPT-6 Prices by Half
OpenAI has halved the API prices for its GPT-6 Sol and Luna models, with performance gains over the previous generation remaining modest.
#OpenAI#GPT-6#API pricing#LLM#cost efficiency

🔥 What happened
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Sol and Luna, cheaper siblings to its flagship Astra. API prices drop 50% versus GPT-5.6 promo pricing. Sol now costs $2 per million input tokens; Luna just $0.10.
💡 Why it matters
Sol beats Claude Opus 5 on AutomationBench at 9% of the cost per task. Luna undercuts Opus 5 on DeepSWE by 93% with comparable scores. Token price is no longer a differentiator — it's pure infrastructure economics.
⚡ Our take
OpenAI is playing the AWS playbook: intelligence becomes a commodity, and the moat is inference margin. Anyone still betting on model quality as a moat loses to the price war.
