GPT-6 Luna

OpenAIfast New

OpenAI's 22 Sep 2026 small GPT-6 model at $0.10/$0.50 per 1M tokens with cached input at $0.01. Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 scores it 37 at max effort at $0.07 per Index task. It is verbose for its size: 140M output tokens across the Index, so the low rate is partly spent on length. 1,050,000 context with 922K maximum input and 128K maximum output; requests above 272K input tokens bill at 2x input and 1.5x output for the whole request. Knowledge cutoff 18 May 2026. Batch and Flex are half price and Fast mode doubles the rate.

Cheaper is left, more capable is up. Nothing in the directory is both cheaper and at least as capable. Self-host models are left off the price axis — their cost depends on the hardware you run them on, not on tokens.
