A new flagship that costs half as much without scoring higher says the money in AI is shifting from capability to cost per token, and inference margins across the model vendors get squeezed with it.

GPT-6 Sol and Luna push the cost efficiency frontier by halving cost relative to GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna. Intelligence Index and Coding Agent Index scores remain level with GPT-5.6, with progress in some evaluations and regressions in others Pricing is approximately half that of https://t.co/eubnxPVsyN

Taking the benchmark crown and cutting prices 20% at the same time tells you frontier AI pricing power is eroding fast, which squeezes every model vendor's margin math and cheapens inference for the cloud and software names buying it.
