OpenAI announced the launch of its token, expanding access to GPT-5.6 Luna for free and low-cost ChatGPT users, enabling unlimited text conversations. File uploads, image generation, and voice interactions remain restricted. The Luna model is the fastest in the GPT-5.6 series but less powerful. OpenAI enhanced its top-tier Sol model for Plus and Pro users, improving accuracy in factual data such as numbers and dates. The release of the Astra model has been delayed as safety evaluations continue. Internal tests showed Astra can handle complex coding and cybersecurity tasks, raising concerns about potential risks. Inflation data and broader economic factors may influence the timing of the final version’s release.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: AI company OpenAI has announced that free users of ChatGPT and users of the low-cost Go plan can use the lightweight GPT-5.6 model, Luna, without limits for text-based conversations only. File uploads, image generation, and voice conversations remain subject to existing usage limits.

GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest model in the GPT-5.6 series, with relatively lower performance, and introduces a new "Think" option to extend reasoning time. OpenAI has also enhanced the top-tier GPT-5.6 model, Sol, for Plus and Pro users, improving the reliability of factual information such as numbers, dates, and sources.

OpenAI has also decided to delay the release of its next-generation model, Astra. Internal evaluations showed strong capabilities in coding and cybersecurity, potentially warranting a "dangerous" rating; related internal activities have been temporarily paused as enhanced safety standards are still incomplete.
