OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.6 on Thursday as a three-model family aimed squarely at enterprise buyers and coding teams, TechCrunch reports. The lineup splits into Sol, Terra and Luna, with OpenAI pitching Sol as its top coding system and saying it uses 54% fewer tokens on coding tasks than prior models.
TechCrunch says OpenAI is also shipping a companion product called ChatGPT Work for document, spreadsheet and presentation tasks across desktop, web and mobile. The company is framing GPT-5.6 as its strongest cybersecurity model yet, with tools for threat modeling, code review, patching and blue-team simulations. Just as important, it’s publicising benchmark wins over Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 while undercutting on speed, tokens and price. Pricing starts at $5 input and $30 output per million tokens for Sol, then drops to $2.50/$15 for Terra and $1/$6 for Luna.
Analysis
This launch matters less as a pure model release than as a direct attack on Anthropic’s enterprise flank. Buyers who care about coding throughput and cost will love the menu; premium rivals now have to justify every extra token with something unmistakably better.
