What it is.

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna — the fast/affordable tier of the July 2026 GPT-5.6 preview at $1/$6 per 1M tokens. The spiritual successor to GPT-5 Mini's price point with a 1.05M context window.

What it does well.

  • Five for five at $0.30 total — only Mistral Large 3 ($0.27) has done the matrix perfectly for less.
  • Now holds the single cheapest pass in the matrix: $0.021 on the Apollo pricing scrape, edging out Mistral.
  • CX in two tool calls and $0.06 — the benchmark that cost its flagship sibling the perfect score, done for a quarter of the price.

Where to be careful.

  • It reads more than it needs to: on Sales it scraped the full Crunchbase page before calling the Crunchbase tool, making its $0.089 Sales run the most expensive of the three tiers.
  • Preview model at preview pricing — the $1/$6 rate is the cheap-tier hook and may move at GA.
  • No data yet on long-horizon behavior; the 1.05M window invites big-context jobs this suite does not test.
