GPT-5.6 LunaOpenAIThis page, always on the chart

Among the 40 current releases on this chart, GPT-5.6 Luna ranks 8th of 38 on Long context. On Factuality, Epoch AI's runs on SimpleQA Verified put GPT-5.6 Luna 28.7 points under GPT-5.6 Sol, 6.8 points above GLM-5.2 and 9.6 points under Kimi K3. It ranks lowest on Hard reasoning, 32nd of 38 and Agentic coding, 26th of 31. Computer use and Instruction following: not yet published by OpenAI or any independent evaluator, checked Nov 2, 2026. Answers in full: published only for another harness, setting or build, listed in the table.

Each axis is one public benchmark at one setting, on its own fixed 0 to 100 scale, so adding a model never moves another. A dotted bridge crosses a missing result, which is never a zero. A hollow mark is a result from another source: the maker's own figure or another lab's run, where the benchmark's usual source has not tested the model yet. The readout names it.

Price and speed

  • GPT-5.6 Luna lists at $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens. For prompts under 272K tokens; $0.40 / $1.80 at 272K or more, as OpenRouter lists it. OpenAI pricing, Oct 31, 2026.
  • GPT-5.6 Luna, at max effort, writes 118.9 output tokens per second on OpenAI's API, and its first token arrives 103 s after the request. Artificial Analysis, Oct 31, 2026.
  • Fastest on the chart is the shortest time to a 500-token answer: time to first token plus 500 tokens at the median output speed.

Every model with a result, axis by axis

57 models. A maker's own figure and another lab's run are marked with their benchmark; a missing result reads "Not yet published", never zero.

The result of every model GILD has benchmark results for, on each of the 12 axes. A vendor-reported value is marked. A model's run notes open under its row from its name, each with the axes it covers.

Prices by route

The lowest standard rate is OpenAI API, at $0.2 / $1.20 per million input and output tokens. US dollars per million tokens, as each route lists them, one row per route and rate plan, cheapest standard rate first after the maker's own; a blended rate states its mix. OpenRouter's endpoints follow under one heading, each with its monitor's uptime over 1 day and 30 minutes and the context and output it serves.

Comparisons

GILD comparisons that name GPT-5.6 Luna, then those of the clouds and APIs that serve it.

What practitioners report

GPT-5.6 Luna has enough accounts to score 2 of 7 axes so far.

Each figure is the share of accounts naming GPT-5.6 Luna that speak well of it on that axis. An axis is scored once praise and concerns are both on record from at least five accounts by three authors. An account from the maker, a company that sells or serves the model, or the maker's expert program is listed and counts toward no figure.
