When to Choose GPT-5.6 Luna

Ideal for production workloads demanding budget capabilities, deep context depth (1.05M tokens), and reliability from OpenAI. Excellent when predictable tokenomics and prompt caching support are paramount.

When Another Model May Be Better

If your use-case requires sub-second streaming latency or ultra-high frequency classification at micro-cent pricing, consider lighter budget options such as Gemini Flash-Lite or Claude Haiku. For deep formal logic, consider dedicated reasoning models like o3.

Frequently Asked Questions About GPT-5.6 Luna

How much does 1 million tokens cost with GPT-5.6 Luna?

For GPT-5.6 Luna, 1 million input tokens costs $0.20, while 1 million output tokens costs $1.20. If using prompt caching, repetitive input prefixes are discounted to $0.02 per million.

What is the context window for GPT-5.6 Luna?

GPT-5.6 Luna features a maximum context window of 1,050,000 tokens (~787,500 words), with a maximum output limit of 16,384 tokens per completion.

Which tokenizer does GPT-5.6 Luna use?

GPT-5.6 Luna utilizes the OpenAI o200k_base (200k vocabulary). Token counting on TokenMath runs client-side to ensure maximum privacy.

Does GPT-5.6 Luna support prompt caching discounts?
