OpenAI unveils GPT-5.6 amid US AI regulatory drama
Less than 24 hours after news broke that OpenAI would stagger its next model release at the request of the Trump administration, that model, GPT-5.6, is here.
AI Summary
OpenAI released a limited preview of GPT‑5.6 less than 24 hours after the Trump administration requested a staggered launch. The suite includes Sol, the flagship model; Terra, a medium‑tier model for high‑volume work; and Luna, a fast and affordable everyday model. OpenAI claims Sol excels at coding, cybersecurity, biology, and long‑horizon agentic tasks. Pricing per million tokens is $5 input / $30 output for Sol, half that of Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5; Terra costs half of Sol, and Luna costs less than half of Terra. Sol also offers a “max” mode for deeper reasoning and an “ultra” mode that uses sub‑agents.
