How GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, Luna compare on intelligence vs cost
See model page
GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna are ahead of Terra at every point on the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart. GPT-5.6 Luna stands out as a particularly cost efficient model
Charting the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows the trade-off between intelligence and Cost per Intelligence Index Task. Across reasoning efforts, each GPT-5.6 model pushes past GPT-5.5 on the Pareto frontier (excluding non-reasoning).
However, Luna and Sol are always ahead of Terra. This means for any Terra effort level, there is a Luna or Sol effort level that is more intelligent at no extra cost, or as intelligent at lower cost.

Announcing AA-3D: a benchmark for AI models building interactive 3D experiences
AA-3D is a new benchmark of how well AI models build interactive 3D experiences. Each model turns a written brief into a working three.js scene in an offline sandbox, and our recruited panel compares the scenes in blind pairwise votes.

Announcing FrontierCode on Artificial Analysis: can AI models write code maintainers would merge?
Cognition's FrontierCode 1.1 tests whether AI models make code changes that maintainers of real open source repositories would merge. Leading models still fail more than 40% of the time.
