Opus 5.5 Crushes GPT-6 on Price
Claude Opus 5.5 leads the field as GPT-6 Sol and Luna become 50% cheaper.
#Anthropic#OpenAI#Claude#GPT-6#Pricing

🔥 What happened
Anthropic dropped Claude Opus 5.5 – better than Fable 5.1 on benchmarks, cheaper than Opus 5, and with 20% higher limits in Claude Code. OpenAI fired back with GPT-6 Luna and Sol, both 50% cheaper but barely smarter.
💡 Why it matters
Sol costs just $2/$10 per million tokens – half the previous price. But a 4-hour test ate 22% of a $100 Codex plan's weekly limit. Meanwhile, Opus 5.5 is so good that devs are ditching Codex and coming back to Claude.
⚡ Our take
OpenAI is cutting prices because it has to, not because it wants to. Opus 5.5 is the new gold standard, and GPT-6 Sol is at best second tier.
