"GPT-6 Sol and Luna: faster, more affordable models with the advances behind Astra's SOTA performance in professional work, factuality, coding, computer use, and alignment"
Greg Brockman on X
"We want the OpenAI API to feature the best model at every price point and to be the best at every modality (text, code, image, video, etc). And then we want you all to come up with great ideas and build them and to get to be happy users. The best ideas will come from you all."
Sam Altman on X
"GPT-6 Sol and Luna are big improvements on intelligence, alignment, work output, coding, computer use, and more over their 5.6-family predecessors. They are also half the price per token, and even less per task!"
