As of 2026-09-24, OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna on 2026-09-22 at half the GPT-5.6 promotional price. Sol is the longer-draft model. Luna is the high-volume notes model. Neither card lists audio or video input. Paste the link into BibiGPT, then choose the model for the writing.

Features

What GPT-6 Sol and Luna actually are

Two cheaper GPT-6 text models under Astra. OpenAI priced them at half the GPT-5.6 promotional rates. They write. They do not take the video file.

Sol for longer drafts (2026-09-22)

API id gpt-6-sol. OpenAI positions Sol for complex coding and professional work. List price is $2 per 1M input tokens and $10 per 1M output tokens. In a content workflow that is the model for a full script or article.

Luna for high-volume notes

API id gpt-6-luna. OpenAI positions Luna for clear, high-volume tasks: summarizing, extracting, and short answers. List price is $0.10 / $0.50 per 1M tokens. That is the model for chapter notes, titles, and show notes.

Text and image in. No audio or video on the card

Vercel's model pages list text and image input, text output, a 1,050,000-token context window, and 128,000 max output tokens. They do not list audio or video input. Do not send a raw lecture file to either id.

Where they fit a video or podcast workflow

BibiGPT turns the link into chapters and a transcript. You then choose which GPT-6 model writes the next artifact. You pick. The link still goes in first.

Luna on the model list for batch notes

After the transcript exists, GPT-6 Luna is the cheap choice for many short outputs: chapter blurbs, titles, timestamps, and social lines. It is on the free model list. Sol is marked for paid plans.

Sol when the piece has to hold together

A 1,500-word article, a video script, or a course outline needs a longer draft. Choose GPT-6 Sol in the same model list. It costs more than Luna and less than GPT-6 Astra ($10 / $50).

Astra stays the flagship, not the notes model

GPT-6 Astra remains the top work model. This launch does not add a GPT-6 Terra. For a finished lecture recap, start from the video link. Gemini 3.8 Flash is the same-month card that does list video input.

5 key changes (90-second read)

Headline shifts from OpenAI's 2026-09-22 launch and the Vercel AI Gateway cards.

  1. 1

    Two SKUs, not a video model

    OpenAI added GPT-6 Sol (gpt-6-sol) and GPT-6 Luna (gpt-6-luna) under Astra. The post does not announce a GPT-6 Terra. Both are text models for work at a lower price.

  2. 2

    Half the GPT-5.6 promotional price

    Sol moves from the $4 / $20 promotional rate to $2 / $10. Luna moves from $0.20 / $1.20 to $0.10 / $0.50. Vercel lists the same input and output rates, with no gateway markup called out.

  3. 3

    Sol writes the long piece. Luna writes the pile of notes

    OpenAI points Sol at complex coding and professional work, and Luna at high-volume tasks with a clear goal: summaries, extraction, and short answers. That split maps to a script versus a batch of titles.

  4. 4

    1.05M context, text and image only

    Vercel lists a 1,050,000-token context window and 128,000 max output tokens. Input is text and image. Output is text. Audio and video are not on the card. Cached input is $0.20 on Sol and $0.01 on Luna.

  5. 5

    API now. Chat later. Luna also on Free desktop

    Both ids are in the API, ChatGPT Work, and Codex for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Free and Go can try Luna in the desktop app. OpenAI said they are not in Chat yet. OpenAI also says Sol makes about half as many factual mistakes as GPT-5.6 Sol on an internal eval.

3 ways to use them with audio, video, and drafts

The link becomes text first. The model you choose writes the next artifact.

A lecture becomes chapter notes

Paste the course URL. BibiGPT returns chapters and a transcript. Choose GPT-6 Luna when you want a short blurb on every chapter, plus titles you can scan. You do not upload the mp4 to gpt-6-luna.

A podcast becomes a script or article

The same transcript can feed a longer draft: a newsletter, a video script, or a lesson outline. Choose GPT-6 Sol for that single piece. Luna stays the better fit when you need twenty short posts instead of one essay.

You are comparing this week’s model cards

GPT-6 Astra is the flagship work model and has its own page. GPT-5.6 is the previous family, still in the list. Gemini 3.8 Flash is the card that lists video input. Keep each intent on its own URL.
