About this model
GPT-5.6 Luna is OpenAI's fastest and most affordable model in the GPT-5.6 family. Built for high-volume, latency-sensitive workloads like chat, classification, and lightweight agentic tasks, it delivers strong reasoning at the lowest cost in the lineup — with a 1M+ token context window and 128K max output.
Best suited for
- High-volume chat & customer support — fast, low-cost responses for user-facing chatbots and support assistants at scale
- Classification & routing — intent detection, sentiment analysis, content moderation, ticket triage, and query routing pipelines
- Data extraction & structuring — pulling structured JSON from documents, emails, forms, and unstructured text
- Lightweight agentic workflows — quick tool-calling steps, sub-agent tasks, and orchestration steps that don't need deep reasoning
- Summarization at scale — condensing conversations, documents, and logs in bulk, aided by the 1M+ token context window
- Autocomplete & real-time assistance — latency-sensitive features like suggestions, rewriting, and inline completions
- Cost-optimized fallbacks — a default cheap tier in multi-model routing, escalating to Terra/Sol only when tasks demand it
Built-in tools
Hosted by the gateway — enable them per request without wiring your own endpoint.
Capabilities
Vision
Accepts images alongside text in the same message.
Files
Accepts file attachments — PDFs, transcripts, spreadsheets.
Tools
Native function calling, so agents can invoke your endpoints.
System prompt
Honours a dedicated system role, separate from the user turn.
Reasoning
Emits a separate thinking pass before the answer.
Supported parameters
max_tokensControls the creativity of responses. Higher values (e.g., 0.7) increase creativity; lower values (e.g., 0.2) make responses more predictable.
toolsLists tool definitions or capabilities available to the model.
tool_choiceDecides whether to use tools or just the model for generating responses.
response_typeparallel_tool_callsreasoningverbositystreamSends the response in real-time as it's being generated.
