@kimmonismus China pushed the market toward low-cost intelligence. OpenAI’s response is to compete on both price and premium performance simultaneously. That’s an interesting strategic shift btw

Absolutely freaking insane. OpenAI is dramatically escalating the AI price war.
Faster inference usually carries a disproportionately higher price: providers sacrifice batching efficiency and reserve scarce compute to reduce latency. But GPT-5.6 Sol Fast delivers up to 2.5x the speed for only 2x the price, giving customers a 25% better speed-to-price ratio with exactly the same intelligence!!
At the same time, OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 Luna’s price by 80% to just $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens, while Terra dropped 20% to $2/$12. Luna is now 25x cheaper than Sol.
OpenAI is attacking both ends of the market simultaneously: near-commodity intelligence at the bottom and frontier intelligence with far better latency economics at the top.
The AI price war just entered its next phase.
And OpenAI just declared war at china’s cheap intelligence.

major price cuts today: *80% drop for GPT-5.6 Luna, now $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output *20% drop for GPT-5.6 Terra, to $2/$12 *GPT-5.6 Sol gets Fast mode in the API, up to 2.5x the speed for 2x the price, same intelligence

this is so so so disappointing
is this everything?
OpenAI@OpenAI
We are committed to pushing the model frontier across cost efficiency, capability, and speed. Starting today, we are reducing prices for GPT-5.6 Luna by 80% and GPT-5.6 Terra by 20% , and offering a faster option for GPT-5.6 Sol in the API. Luna and Terra’s lower prices are reflected in how usage is counted in Codex and ChatGPT Work, so your usage goes further.

@thsottiaux 80% price cut is great kind of update where builder actually build & create something great
English
We kept ourselves busy with GPT-5.6 Sol. It's pretty good at things.
Rolling out
- 80% lower prices on Luna
- 20% lower prices on Terra
- faster speeds on GPT-5.6 Sol in /fast mode
- ~ 10X cheaper auto-approve mode ("review for me" in the app), which now uses Luna to prevent many high risk actions from the main agent
Towards intelligence too cheap to meter and many more breakthroughs ahead.

OpenAI didn’t just ship a model update today, they quietly changed the economics of AI which was so important.
1.Highest intelligence score
2.Much lower cost per task
3.Better price-to-performance
4.Cheaper to scale
5.Stronger margins for AI products
6.Faster testing and experimentation
7.Ideal for agents, coding and research
8.More capability for every dollar spent
The biggest AI battle is not who has the smartest model anymore.
It’s who can make intelligence so cheap that developers stop thinking about cost.
When inference gets cheaper Startup companies ship more.
Agents run longer than usual
products become AI-first instead of AI-assisted.
the next wave won’t be won by the best demo.

There comes a point where you’re moving too fast.
Realizing this in the moment is the hard part.
But if you do, the best move is to slow down.
So you can move faster around the corner.
