⚡OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and Luna, more affordable versions of its GPT-6 model.

What it means

OpenAI has added two cheaper variants, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, to its GPT-6 model lineup, pitched as lower-cost ways to get near-flagship performance. Reuters reports they are priced at half the promotional rates of their predecessors, and coverage says they are trained using methods similar to those behind the flagship Astra model. The launch came the same day Anthropic released its own cheaper Claude Opus 5.5, underscoring an industry push toward cheaper AI options.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded

The claim is solid as an announcement: it is based on OpenAI's own launch materials and is corroborated across Reuters, CNA, TechCrunch, Gizmodo and other outlets reporting directly on the release. Pricing, positioning and capability claims are company-provided, so the substance is OpenAI's account rather than an independent benchmark or evaluation.
