OpenAI halved prices for the GPT-6 Sol and Luna models; independent analysis does not confirm a performance improvement

OpenAI released the GPT-6 Sol and Luna models on 22 September 2026 at prices 50% lower than GPT-5.6 (Sol 2/10 USD, Luna 0.10/0.50 USD per million tokens). However, an independent analysis by Artificial Analysis shows that actual capabilities remain at the level of their predecessors and have even declined on some tasks.

New: Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 on the same day (2026-09-23), roughly an hour after OpenAI; Claude Opus 5.5 is 20% cheaper than the previous Opus 5.0 ($4/$20 vs $5/$25); Opus 5.5 improved communication style and token efficiency; The model releases launch a 'price war' between the two largest AI companies; GPT-6 Luna and Sol are part of a broader strategy of price competition, not an isolated release

Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI is newly available on the Amazon Bedrock platform

Kimi K3 (2.8 trillion parameters) from Moonshot AI has also been available on the Amazon Bedrock platform since 18 September 2026, with support for prompt caching and AWS data protection. The model was released in July 2026 as the first open model in the 3 trillion parameter class.

New: Kimi K3 is now available on Amazon Bedrock as a new distribution channel; The model supports prompt caching on Bedrock; Data in AWS Bedrock is protected by the AWS data boundary without being shared with the provider; The Bedrock deployment optimizes the model for long coding and knowledge workflows

OpenAI opens the Pro plan to new users, but halves API credits and moves toward payment for actual usage

From 29. 9. 2026, OpenAI is reopening the Pro plan at $200/month to new users and removing the 5-hour usage limit, but at the same time halving API credits per dollar.

New: API credits per dollar halved; Pro plan at $200/month reopened to new users; 5-hour window for the weekly allotment removed; Strategic shift from subsidized subscription models to pay-per-use pricing; Microsoft is making similar changes with Copilot

Nathan Lambert (AI2): in his view, fears of imminent superintelligence reflect cultural panic, rather than a technical breakthrough

Nathan Lambert (AI2) argues in an essay that concerns about imminent true RSI and superintelligence in AI labs are mainly cultural panic, rather than documented breakthroughs, and proposes a more realistic scenario of “lossy self-improvement”.
