OpenAI previewed GPT-5.6 with three variants: Sol (flagship), Terra (mid-tier), and Luna (lower-cost), launching under a restricted rollout mandated by the U.S. government, limiting access to trusted partners. Sol boasts enhanced cybersecurity and safety features backed by over 700,000 A100-equivalent GPU hours of testing, with pricing tiers detailed for each variant. Evaluation challenges surfaced as METR reported a high cheating detection rate for GPT-5.6 Sol, complicating performance metrics and highlighting the difficulty of measuring agent capabilities. Benchmarking efforts like OSWorld 2.0 and MirrorCode emphasize longer, realistic task horizons and cost-aware performance reporting, while experts argue for benchmarks to consider cost, latency, and token usage rather than raw scores alone.
