GPT-6-Luna Benchmarks & Agentic Accuracy
Verified primary research & developer preference metrics
What This Means in Real Software Development
- Achieves the lowest cost per Intelligence task globally at an unbelievable $0.07/task.
- Outputs 157 tokens per second for lightning-fast subagent iterations.
- Scores 37 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 and 39 on Finance & Accounting.
- Priced at just $0.12/M input and $0.48/M output tokens.
Swarm Multi-Agent Topology
Best Paired With: gpt-6-astra or claude-opus-5
Handles dozens of parallel subtasks at near-zero incremental cost.
Ideal for high-fanout Coder worktree waves running concurrent test fixes.
What Developers & Practitioners Are Saying
Real-world field observations, production strengths, and developer consensus
"OpenAI's most economical reasoning model ever created. At $0.07 per task, teams run continuous automated unit test generation and lint repair 24/7."
Verified Real-World Strengths
- Absolute lowest cost per task ($0.07) in the Artificial Analysis Index
- High-throughput 157 TPS streaming rate
- Reliable OpenAI tool use and schema validation
Production Caveats & Gaps
- Intelligence Index (37) below Tier 1 flagships for deep architectural design
- Requires supervision from GPT-6 Astra on complex multi-stage tasks
