 $1.93 per million tokens, balanced Balanced Summarise Chat Code gen Agentic

## GPT-5.6 Luna is both better and cheaper.

It scores **+36.6** higher and costs **77% less** ($0.450/M against $1.93/M) on this workload — and it does everything this model does.

[Gemini 3.7 Flash](/models/google__gemini-3.7-flash) is cheaper still (61% less) but drops 100K → 66K max output.

The same model via **batch** is 50% cheaper ($0.963/M) — same weights, different latency.

### Every price dimension

| Input | $1.10 /M |
| --- | --- |
| Output | $4.40 /M |
| Cached input | $0.550 /M |
| Web search | $0.01 /call |

### Independent scores

| Intelligence | 15.7 |
| --- | --- |
| Coding | 16.3 |
| Agentic | 1.7 |

Sources are listed separately rather than averaged. Across the 62 models both have scored they correlate at r = 0.806 — close agreement overall, but four models rank very differently between them, and a blended score would hide exactly those.

### Capability

| Context window | 200K |

| Max output | 100K |
| Input modes | text, file |
| Tool use | yes |
| Reasoning | always on |
