OpenAI has begun previewing its GPT-5.6 series to a limited group of trusted partners after government review. The release includes three variants: Sol at $5 input/$30 output per million tokens, Terra at $2.50/$15, and Luna at $1/$6.

OpenAI released its GPT-5.6 model lineup to a limited group of "trusted partners" after the U.S. government requested restrictions on the rollout. The company released three models—Sol ($5/$30 per million tokens), Terra ($2.50/$15), and Luna ($1/$6)—but said the government-mandated preview "shouldn't become the long-term default."

OpenAI announced GPT-5.6, a three-tier model series launching through a limited preview coordinated with the U.S. government. The models—Sol, Terra, and Luna—are priced from $1/$6 to $5/$30 per million input/output tokens and introduce new max and ultra reasoning modes.

OpenAI announced three new models—GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna—on June 26, 2026, but is limiting initial access to a "small group of trusted partners" following a U.S. government request. The company says it plans to make the models generally available "in the coming weeks."

OpenAI released GPT-5.6, a three-model suite consisting of Sol (flagship), Terra (medium-tier), and Luna (fast/affordable).
