OpenAI has begun a limited preview of the GPT‑5.6 family: **Sol** (flagship), **Terra** (balanced, 2× cheaper than GPT‑5.5), and **Luna** (fast, low‑cost). Sol introduces a new “max” reasoning mode and an “ultra” mode that uses sub‑agents. Early benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance on coding (Terminal‑Bench 2.1), biology (GeneBench v1), and cybersecurity (ExploitBench, ExploitGym). The models ship with OpenAI’s most robust safety stack to date, but the preview may block or delay some requests.
OpenAI: OpenAI announced a limited preview of the GPT‑5.6 family—Sol, Terra and Luna. Sol is the new flagship, described as a step‑function improvement over GPT‑5.5. Terra delivers performance competitive with GPT‑5.5 at roughly 2× lower cost, and Luna is the most cost‑efficient model, offering strong capability at the lowest price. The company plans to make the three models generally available in the coming weeks, but the preview is currently limited to a small group of trusted partners in Codex and the API at the request of the U.S. government.
GLM‑5.2 is Z.ai’s newest open‑source model designed for long‑horizon coding tasks. It supports a solid 1 million‑token context, introduces flexible “effort” levels for balancing speed and capability, and uses the IndexShare architecture to cut per‑token FLOPs by 2.9×. Benchmarks show it outperforms its predecessor (GLM‑5.1) and ranks as the strongest open‑source coding model, closing the gap to leading closed‑source systems.
OpenCode: Kimi 2.7 Code is now available in Go with image support, optimized for coding and priced similarly to 2.6. Kimi.ai: Builders using the Kimi K2.7 Code API can earn 20%–30% extra quota by topping up $100+ before July 2, with one bonus per account. ollama: The Kimi‑K2.7‑Code model is now hosted on Ollama’s US cloud on NVIDIA B300 GPUs, keeping data private and never used for training; try it with “ollama launch claude --model”. Z.ai: GLM‑5.2, the new flagship model, is now accessible to all GLM Coding Plan users—including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team tiers.
