OpenAI launches three AIs: Sun, Earth and Moon with prices starting at one dollar

Published on June 28, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

OpenAI has introduced three new versions of its artificial intelligence: GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna. Sol is the most powerful, while Luna is the cheapest option. For now, only select companies can access them, but they are expected to arrive on ChatGPT soon. For regular users, this means faster and safer AI, with affordable prices starting at $1 per million tokens. These improvements aim to make artificial intelligence more useful for everyone.

Three advanced AI server racks labeled Sol, Terra, Luna glowing with blue and orange neon lights, data cables connecting to a transparent digital globe showing real-time token processing, a holographic price tag floating above Luna unit displaying one dollar per million tokens, engineers in white coats monitoring performance dashboards, sleek futuristic data center with cooling mist rising, cinematic technical illustration, photorealistic metallic surfaces, dramatic rim lighting, glowing circuit traces, high-tech interface screens showing speed and security metrics, ultra-detailed hardware components, cyberpunk industrial atmosphere

Technical details of the new GPT-5.6 versions 🤖

The Sol version is designed for complex tasks requiring high processing power, while Terra offers a balance between performance and cost. Luna, the most economical, is intended for everyday use and lightweight applications. According to OpenAI, these variants allow developers to choose based on their needs without paying for features they don't use. Early access is limited to commercial partners, but integration into ChatGPT will arrive in the coming months, expanding the options available to the general public.

AI now comes in three flavors: expensive, medium, and cheap 🚀

So now you know, if you want an AI that solves quantum equations while making your coffee, order Sol. If you just need it to remind you to buy milk, Luna will do. And if you don't know which to choose, Terra is the middle ground that won't make you feel like you're overspending or skimping. The good thing is, for a dollar, even your grandma could have her own virtual assistant. Let's just hope it doesn't ask for a raise.
