GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, Luna compare on intelligence vs. cost

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna models outperform GPT-5.6 Terra on intelligence per cost, with Luna emerging as the most cost-efficient variant. The Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows both Sol and Luna dominate Terra across all reasoning effort levels, pushing past GPT-5.5 on the Pareto frontier.

GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna are ahead of Terra at every point on the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart. GPT-5.6 Luna stands out as a particularly cost efficient model

Charting the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows the trade-off between intelligence and Cost per Intelligence Index Task. Across reasoning efforts, each GPT-5.6 model pushes past GPT-5.5 on the Pareto frontier (excluding non-reasoning).

However, Luna and Sol are always ahead of Terra. This means for any Terra effort level, there is a Luna or Sol effort level that is more intelligent at no extra cost, or as intelligent at lower cost.
