What matters
OpenAI ships GPT-6 Sol and Luna at half prior API prices; ShinyHunters claims FBI employee data theft; SF sues Truth Social over paid early access to Trump posts.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Sol (coding/agentic) and GPT-6 Luna (fast, high-volume tasks), building on GPT-6 Astra with lower cost and higher usage limits.
API list prices cut 50% vs GPT-5.6 promos: Sol $2/$10 and Luna $0.10/$0.50 per 1M input/output tokens; company cites caching and inference gains.
OpenAI says Sol makes ~half as many factual mistakes as its predecessor on an internal real-conversation eval, approaching Astra-level reliability at lower cost.
