The full family, Sol, Terra, and Luna, is generally available on Amazon Bedrock with IAM and VPC controls (LLM Boss, AWS). Sol targets coding, biology, and cybersecurity agentic work. Terra runs everyday tasks at about half GPT-5.5's cost, and Luna optimizes for speed. The three-tier lineup is the interesting part for builders, because it's OpenAI telling you to route by task instead of using one model for everything. Re-benchmark against your own eval suite before you switch a default. GA benchmark claims and your workload are different animals.

Everyone benchmarks per task. Accuracy on SWE-bench, pass rate on Terminal-Bench, a leaderboard row per model. Together AI ran the experiment sideways: fix the budget at $100, point both models at DeepSWE, and count how much work came out the other end. GLM-5.3 finished 17 tas...
First-party pricing, counts toward AWS commitments, Codex via CLI and IDE plugins for VS Code, JetBrains, and Xcode, across commercial and GovCloud (AWS). This removes the procurement and compliance wall for AWS shops that couldn't touch OpenAI under existing contracts. Distri...
I don't care that Grok 4.5 ranks #4. I care that it resolves a SWE-Bench Pro task with an average of 15,954 output tokens where Opus 4.8 spends 67,020. That's a 4.2x efficiency gap, and it lands straight in my monthly bill. SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.5 on July 8, a roughly 1.5T-...
The deal is backed by a $50B Amazon investment and 2GW Trainium capacity commitment. GPT-5.5 pricing: $5/$30 per 1M input/output tokens with 1M context. For builders on AWS, you can now use GPT-5.5 with existing IAM, PrivateLink, and CloudTrail. No new security model. The mult...
You can't sign up for the best coding model OpenAI has ever built. You have to be approved. By the federal government. One customer at a time. OpenAI previewed GPT-5.6 'Sol' on June 26, and the capability story is real: it's a three-model family (Sol the flagship at $5/$30 per...
OpenAI's changelog shows a Codex refresh several rankings now place at #1 for terminal-driven agentic coding. The release also optimizes TUI startup and session restore by querying the state DB first. The coding-agent tier keeps compressing. No single tool is safely ahead for...
