GPT-5.6 and the Limits of Price-Performance — How to Find Your Workload's Place on the Curve
On July 30, 2026, OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 Luna by 80% and Terra by 20%. That is three weeks after the July 9 general availability, and the top-end Sol price is unchanged. Luna went from 1 dollar input and 6 dollars output per

Cutting an LLM API bill in half is arithmetic, not intuition. Because output tokens cost several times what input tokens cost, the biggest lever is almost always controlling output length, with prompt caching next. This

A prompt cache read costs one-tenth of the input price. But that does not take 90% off your invoice. Follow the worked example Anthropic publishes in its own docs and, even with the cache fully warm, the total drops only
