OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna on September 22, 2026 — three weeks after GPT-6 Astra, at half the per-token price of GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna. Sol ($2/$10) is the workhorse, Luna ($0.10/$0.50) is the budget engine, and Terra is gone. Five jobs to give Sol, three to keep on Astra or peers, and the routing principle that falls out once you stop chasing the flagship.
GPT-6 "Astra" landed September 3 at $10/$50 per 1M tokens with 1.05M context and 0% out-of-scope safety hits. The headline is Computer Use — a model that clicks through HubSpot, builds spreadsheets, and pulls competitor PDFs into structured tables. Five jobs worth routing to it, three to keep on Sol or Opus 5, and the routing principle that fits both.
