GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst is OpenAI's image generation and editing model optimized for detail: dense compositions, text-heavy layouts, and edits that keep details consistent from one edit to the next at medium or high quality, generating about 50% faster than GPT Image 2.5. It takes text and image inputs and produces images, with quality tiers from low to max, transparent backgrounds, and custom sizes in multiples of 16 pixels at aspect ratios from 1:3 to 3:1. GPT Image 2.6 introduces a complexity setting for how much the model plans before rendering, markup-guided edits, animated GIF output, and SVG output. Choose Flare instead when speed matters more than fine detail.

GPT-6.1 Terra Pro

GPT-6.1 Terra Pro is the same underlying model as GPT-6.1 Terra, served with reasoning.mode set to pro for higher-quality responses on complex tasks.

Cost note: pro mode spends far more reasoning tokens per request, so a typical request costs several times more than the same request on GPT-6.1 Terra and takes much longer to complete. It is intended for hard, high-stakes problems where the extra accuracy justifies the cost. For everyday coding, agentic, and chat workloads, use GPT-6.1 Terra instead.

GPT-6 Luna Decisions

GPT-6 Luna Decisions is GPT-6 Luna served through OpenAI's Decisions API. Instead of generating text, it reads the content passed as state (text, JSON, or images) and returns typed, probabilistic answers to named questions in a single request: the probability of yes for a yes/no question (noul), a probability for every option plus the most likely one (choice), or a probability for every level of an ordered rubric plus the expected score (score).

It is built for classification, routing, moderation, and rubric grading where application code thresholds the returned numbers rather than parsing a chat reply. A request can carry up to 200 questions about the same content.

GPT-6.1 Sol

GPT-6.1 Sol is an upgrade to GPT-6 Sol from OpenAI, positioned below the flagship GPT-6 Astra in the GPT-6 series. It is suited for agentic coding, computer use, document-heavy professional work, and multi-step business workflow automation, and approaches Astra-level results on these tasks at a much lower cost. Compared with GPT-6 Sol, it makes fewer factual errors and is more reliable at respecting explicit restrictions and user intent during agentic tasks.

GPT-6 Sol

GPT-6 Sol is the cost-efficient high-end model in OpenAI's GPT-6 series, positioned below the flagship GPT-6 Astra and above the fast GPT-6 Luna tier. It is suited for demanding professional work, agentic coding, business workflow automation, and computer use, and is particularly strong at long-horizon software engineering tasks in real codebases. It approaches Astra-level factual reliability at a much lower cost and shares Astra's clearer, more concise communication style in technical and coding conversations.
