OpenAI Releases GPT-6 Sol and Luna: 50% Cheaper API Pricing and Benchmarks
- OpenAI dropped GPT-6 Sol and Luna, slashing API costs by 50%. It’s the AI equivalent of a flash crash for your burn rate. Sol handles complex coding at $2/1M tokens; Luna chugs high-volume tasks for pennies. Benchmarks show Sol beating Opus 5 on cost-efficiency while Luna undercuts Fable 5 by 93%. Prompt caching now offers up to 90% discounts on repeated instructions, which is great news if you’re running long-running agents or just lazy developers. The ChatGPT rollout is gradual, so don’t expect instant magic in the free tier. This isn’t moonboy fuel, it’s infrastructure. If you’re still paying premium prices for basic inference, you’re essentially a meat wallet funding Core Dynamics bureaucracy. Optimize your stack before the market corrects itself.
