Before I thought it was just an improved version or at least in the same class as gpt 5.4 mini but now it's being priced like a nano model!
I thought about it because Terra has similar pricing to 5.4 and Sol is similar to 5.5.
Luna was already my workhorse before, it performs very well on high/xhigh for most of the tasks, very happy about this drop.
- lower input/output token pricing
- the cached token price is $0.0028/Million tokens, which is like 50-90% of tokens
- GPT-5 high: score 35, approximately $0.37/task
- Luna medium: score 38, approximately $0.01/task
- Luna max: score 51, approximately $0.042/task
So Luna medium is:
- slightly more capable than GPT-5 high;
- approximately 35–40× cheaper per benchmark task.
And Luna max is:
- 16 Intelligence Index points better;
- still roughly 9× cheaper per task.
This reduction was possible within 1 year.
Does this seem higher or lower limits ?
Haiku was already in a ditch.
But this is coming straight for the jugular of a ton of models on openrouter.
