GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, AND Claude Opus 5.5 all just dropped. So which model should you actually use?
Join Grant Harvey and Corey Noles from The Neuron LIVE today as we put the newest models from OpenAI and Anthropic head-to-head.
OpenAI says GPT-6 Sol makes roughly half as many mistakes as GPT-5.6 Sol, bringing Astra-level reliability to a much cheaper model, while GPT-6 Luna is designed for fast, high-volume work like summarization, extraction, and quick questions. OpenAI is also dramatically cutting prices, with Sol reportedly coming in at $2 / $10 per million input / output tokens and Luna at just $0.10 / $0.50.
Meanwhile, Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5.5 just 90 minutes earlier. Anthropic says it performs around Claude Fable 5.1 level on most work while costing roughly 40% less to run than Opus 5, generating output more than 30% faster, and communicating more clearly. Its API price is $4 / $20 per million input / output tokens.
And the benchmark fight is already spicy: Anthropic reports Opus 5.5 scoring 66.4% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, 54.4% on FrontierCode, and 1,846 Elo on GDPval-AA v2.1, with particularly strong results in coding, computer use, and professional knowledge work.
On the livestream, we’ll break down: ⚔️ GPT-6 Sol vs. GPT-6 Luna 🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 vs. OpenAI’s newest models 💻 Coding, reasoning, writing, agents, and everyday work 💰 Pricing and what it means for AI users 🎯 Which model fits which kind of task 🧪 First reactions and live testing 💬 Your questions from the chat
If you’ve been wondering whether to use GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, Claude Opus 5.5, or GPT-6 Astra, come hang out and test them with us.

More from The Neuron: AI Explained
Neurosurgeon-scientists Alex Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec explain how The Biological Computing Company uses living neurons as a research platform for AI. Their team grows roughly 150,000 cells on a 4,096-electrode array, sends in patterns such as handwritten digits, records how the neurons respond, and models useful computational behaviors in software. They say those neuron-inspired techniques are already helping GPU-based video-generation systems run about 5x faster with roughly 80% lower inference cost, while their longer-term work explores robots, world models, and real-time biological compute.
OpenAI just dropped 20+ announcements at DevDay 2026, so... yeah, we have some things to talk about. 😺
Runway co-founder Anastasis Germanidis explains Solaris, an “interface world model” that generates software frame by frame instead of rendering a traditional interface from HTML and CSS.
OpenAI DevDay 2026 is here, and we’re hosting a watch party to watch the keynote LIVE.
Corey and Grant sit down with Mammoth Biosciences co-founder and CEO Dr. Trevor Martin to explain how CRISPR is moving from a laboratory tool toward one-time medicines.
