OpenAI is dramatically escalating the AI price war. The newly introduced GPT-5.6 Sol Fast delivers 2.5x the inference speed for only 2x the price, improving the speed-to-price ratio by 25%.
Simultaneously, OpenAI cut base model Luna's price by 80% to $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens, while flagship Terra dropped 20% to $2/$12. This aggressive pricing makes Luna 25x cheaper than Sol, attacking both the near-commodity intelligence and frontier intelligence markets simultaneously.
