On July 9, 2026, OpenAI rolled out three new models—GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna—across the entire ChatGPT platform and API, ending a 12-day period where only government-vetted organizations had access. The U.S. Department of Commerce gave its approval after additional testing and meetings with government agencies, removing the restriction that had limited access to roughly 20 vetted entities. Sol targets frontier work and agentic tasks, Terra balances capability with cost for everyday use, and Luna is fast and cheap. The 12-day window was deliberate under a voluntary framework with the White House Office of the National Cyber Director, where new frontier models get tested by vetted government orgs first. Sol costs $5 per 1M input tokens and $30 per 1M output tokens; Terra is $2.50 in and $15 out; Luna is $1 in and $6 out. For the first time since export control restrictions began in June, every major frontier AI lab has a publicly available model at the same time.
