<p><strong><a href="https://openai.com/index/advancing-the-price-performance-frontier-with-gpt-5-6/">Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6</a></strong></p> Huge price drop from OpenAI today: GPT-5.6 Terra got a 20% reduction, and GPT-5.6 Luna got a massive 80% drop.</p> <p>OpenAI credit 5.6 Sol with enabling this: in <a href="https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-6-frontier-intelligence-efficiency/">How GPT‑5.6 fuses frontier intelligence with frontier efficiency</a> they describe using 5.6 Sol to optimize load balancing, and more impressively to optimize inference itself:</p> <blockquote> <p>We also used GPT‑5.6 Sol to optimize the model’s forward pass: the computation that transforms inputs into next-token predictions. Even when individual operations are fast, excess memory movement, synchronization, and inefficient data layouts can leave GPUs idle. To avoid this, GPT‑5.6 Sol found work that could be precomputed, avoided, or parallelized. With Codex, GPT‑5.6 Sol autonomously
