# OpenAI launches its new family of models with GPT-5.6

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.6, a new family of AI models available in three tiers: Sol (flagship), Terra (mid-range), and Luna (budget). Sol is claimed to be 54% more token-efficient for coding tasks and is positioned as OpenAI's best coding model, benchmarked above Anthropic's Fable 5 on the Coding Agent Index while costing roughly one-third less. The family is also touted as OpenAI's strongest cybersecurity model yet, supporting threat modeling, code review, and blue teaming. A new enterprise workplace tool called ChatGPT Work was also released. Pricing ranges from $1/$6 per million tokens (Luna) to $5/$30 (Sol), and the models are available via ChatGPT, Codex, and the OpenAI API.
