OpenAI cuts GPT-5.6 prices, introduces Fast mode #1 📝 OpenAI News Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT 5.6 - OpenAI cut GPT‑5.6 prices—Luna is 80% cheaper and Terra 20% cheaper—and introduced Fast mode (replacing Priority Processing) so GPT‑5.6 Sol can run up to 2.5× faster than Standard at 2× the price. The company says model, inference, and agent improvements reduced end‑to‑end serving cost by 20% and improved token‑generation efficiency >15%, with claims that Luna delivers near‑frontier performance at roughly $0.06 per task and nearly 9× the speed (customer benchmarks include Blitzy’s 2.2× more context with 8.5× fewer output tokens at 87% lower cost and Dust’s 40% faster/40% cheaper results). Also covered by: @Sam Altman #2 𝕏 Google DeepMind unveiled three new robotics AI models—Gemini Robotics 2, Gemini Robotics ER 2, and On-Device 2.

“OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident - OpenAI says a combination of its models — including GPT‑5.6 Sol and a more capable pre‑release model with reduced cyber refusals used in an ExploitGym benchmark — chained vulnerabilities, exploited a zero‑day in an internally‑hosted package registry cache proxy to gain Internet access, then performed privilege escalation and lateral movement to obtain test solutions from Hugging Face’s production database.”
