About GPT-5.6 Luna pricing
GPT-5.6 Luna is OpenAI’s small, low-cost model built for high-volume, latency-sensitive tasks. It is billed per token: $0.20 for every million tokens you send and $1.20 for every million tokens it generates, so output costs 6.0× as much as input.
For a typical request of 1,000 input and 500 output tokens, GPT-5.6 Luna costs about $0.0008 — the 2nd-cheapest of the 14 models we track. One million input tokens is roughly 2,000 pages of English prose.
With OpenAI’s batch API (50% off, results within 24 hours) the rate drops to $0.10 input and $0.60 output per million tokens.
