OpenAI launches GPT-6 Sol and Luna at half the cost of 5.6 series
OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna on September 22, 2026, bringing GPT-6 Astra's advances in coding, factuality, computer use, and agentic work into faster, cheaper models. Sol costs $2/M input and $10/M output, Luna $0.10/M and $0.50/M — about 50% below GPT-5.6 promotional pricing. The launch came the same day as Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and immediately reshaped the frontier pricing landscape.

OpenAI relaunches $200 Pro, Pro 500 plan (25x Plus limits, Ultrafast), as $500 ProMax plan appears in API pricing
OpenAI announced changes to ChatGPT Pro effective October 30, 2026: the $200 Pro 200 plan's included usage drops from 20x to 10x the Plus allowance, a new $500 Pro 500 tier offers 25x Plus usage plus 'Ultrafast' generation (up to 8x faster token output) for GPT-6 Astra, and all Pro subscribers get 'dots' — always-on cloud agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. Existing subscribers receive a one-time 62,500-credit grant, and community analysis argues the Sol API price cut exactly offsets the quota cut while Astra users bear the full reduction.
