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.

The share of Terminal-Bench 4.0's long terminal tasks the model finishes on its own: services, kernels, proofs and data pipelines, graded on the final artifact with no partial credit.

The share of each AutomationBench task's objectives the model completes by calling REST APIs across simulated business apps (Gmail, Sheets, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, Jira, HubSpot), averaged over tasks. A task that breaks one of its policy guardrails scores zero.

How much of each OSWorld 2.1 workflow the model completes by operating a real Ubuntu desktop through screenshots, mouse and keyboard: all 108 long tasks across apps, files, mail and browsers, on the September 2026 v2.1 release of the task files. A point is the mean share of each task's weighted checks the model passes (the partial score, as a percentage). The OSWorld team's own runs come first. Where the team has not run a release, the point is another lab's run or the maker's own published figure, marked with who ran it and the benchmark it ran: OSWorld 2.1 in the maker's harness, OSWorld 2.0's offline set or the earlier OSWorld-Verified. Those points are drawn so the release has a figure, and they are not ranked against the team's runs.

The share of SpeechMap's 2,120 sensitive and controversial but legal requests the model answers in full: arguments, essays and explanations on contested themes in politics, religion, race, sex, history and similar topics, four wordings per theme across 530 themes. SpeechMap's judge rates each response complete, evasive (hedged or redirected), a denial, or an error (the provider's API blocked the request). Only complete answers count, so the point is the share answered in full: 100 minus the share hedged, refused or blocked by the provider. Higher means more lawful requests answered in full. The share blocked at the provider is printed apart in the table, because an API error is not the model declining. Where SpeechMap runs a release both with reasoning off and with reasoning on (a -reasoning or -thinking entry), the reasoning-on entry is used; a release with one entry uses that entry.

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.

The Model can assist with work planning & task decomposition when a Product supplies the necessary context and tools.
The Model can assist with codebase context & intelligence when a Product supplies the necessary context and tools.
The Model can assist with coding & implementation when a Product supplies the necessary context and tools.
The Model can assist with debugging & investigation when a Product supplies the necessary context and tools.
The Model can assist with testing & verification when a Product supplies the necessary context and tools.
The Model can assist with code review & quality when a Product supplies the necessary context and tools.
We cover 6 products that offer GPT-5.6 Luna today: 5 subscriptions and 1 API.

GILD comparisons that name GPT-5.6 Luna, then those of the clouds and APIs that serve it.
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.
| Axis | Favorable | Accounts |
|---|---|---|
| Quality and reasoningWhether its answers and code are right on the author's own task: reasoning, accuracy, instruction following, and consistency. | Needs 5 accounts from 3 authors | 3 favorable, 1 not, 4 authors |
| Tool use and structured outputWhether it calls tools correctly, returns valid structured output, and keeps agent loops on track. | Only praise on record | 1 favorable, 0 not, 1 author |
| Long contextHow it holds up over long documents, large codebases, long sessions, and many images or PDFs. | Only concerns on record | 0 favorable, 1 not, 1 author |
| Developer experienceHow it is to build with: prompting, steering, effort settings, and support across SDKs and providers. | No accounts yet | None yet |
| CostWhat the work costs: price per task, token use, and what caching and batch save. | 50% | 3 favorable, 3 not, 6 authors |
| SpeedResponse time, time to first token, and throughput. | 80% | 4 favorable, 1 not, 5 authors |
