This is a news summary.
OpenAI announced that the number of active users for its models has exceeded 1 billion, and the number of companies using them has surpassed 2 million.
This announcement followed price reductions for two models in the GPT-5.6 product line.
Previously, the Luna 5.6 price was reduced by 80%, and the Terra 5.6 price was reduced by 20%. As a result,
The Luna price was reduced from $1 per 1 million input tokens to $0.20, and from $6 per 1 million output tokens to $1.20.
The Terra fee was also reduced from $2.50 per 1 million input tokens to $2, and from $15 per 1 million output tokens to $12.
The price of Sol, the highest-performing model in 5.6, remained unchanged.
OpenAI explained that these price reductions were due to efficiency improvements made during the internal development process.
Furthermore, they stated that improvements in context management functionality led to a 13.3% to 38.3% increase in GPT-5.6 Sol's ARC-AGI-3 benchmark score, and that output tokens were reduced to only one-sixth of the previous amount.
