Absolutely freaking insane. OpenAI is dramatically escalating the AI price war.
Faster inference usually carries a disproportionately higher price: providers sacrifice batching efficiency and reserve scarce compute to reduce latency. But GPT-5.6 Sol Fast delivers up to 2.5x the speed for only 2x the price, giving customers a 25% better speed-to-price ratio with exactly the same intelligence!!
At the same time, OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 Luna's price by 80% to just $0.20/$1.20 per million tokens, while Terra dropped 20% to $2/$12. Luna is now 25x cheaper than Sol.
OpenAI is attacking both ends of the market simultaneously: near-commodity intelligence at the bottom and frontier intelligence with far better latency economics at the top.
The AI price war just entered its next phase.
And OpenAI just declared war at china's cheap intelligence.
