OpenAI Slashes GPT-5.6 Luna API Price by 80%, Terra Cut by 20%

·1 views

OpenAI has significantly reduced API pricing for two of its GPT-5.6 models, Luna and Terra, making high-volume AI workloads more affordable for developers and businesses. Luna now costs $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens, reflecting an 80% price reduction, while Terra is priced at $2 and $12 per million input and output tokens respectively, a 20% cut. The changes are rolling out across platforms including AWS, and both models remain accessible via ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the OpenAI API. OpenAI also retains a Fast mode for GPT-5.6 Sol, offering up to 2.5 times faster speeds at twice the standard price, automatically applied to priority requests. The lower token costs are expected to make previously cost-prohibitive automation use cases more viable and reduce expenses for existing workflows without requiring engineering changes.

Developer releases open-source SDK to make React Native apps resilient on poor connections

A developer has released NetResilience, an open-source SDK for React Native designed to improve HTTP communication reliability under poor internet conditions. Unlike standard connectivity libraries that only detect online or offline status, NetResilience classifies network quality into four levels: Excellent, Moderate, Poor, and Offline. Based on the detected quality, the SDK can queue, retry, delay, or reject HTTP requests according to configurable resilience policies. Pending requests are persisted locally using expo-sqlite, allowing queued operations to survive app restarts. To address security concerns, the SDK strips authentication tokens before local storage and fetches a fresh token via an authProvider callback at sync time, preventing issues with expired credentials.

OpenAI Cuts GPT-5.6 Prices and Adds Fast Mode to Expand API Options

OpenAI has announced pricing and performance updates to its GPT-5.6 model lineup, reducing Luna's cost by 80%, Terra's by 20%, and introducing a Fast mode for Sol. The company frames these changes as an effort to advance what it calls a price-performance frontier, giving developers more tailored options across different workloads. CEO Sam Altman has publicly stated the goal of offering the best intelligence-to-cost ratio at multiple points along a trade-off curve, rather than relying on a single flagship model. The updates signal a shift toward more operational model selection, where cost, speed, and output quality are weighed together depending on the use case. OpenAI has not specified a universal formula for choosing between its GPT-5.6 variants, leaving teams to evaluate the options against their own production requirements.

Developer Automates Bug Reports from Tally Forms to GitHub and Discord via Make

A developer building a privacy-focused Android app called Timety needed a way to collect user feedback without requiring account creation. To avoid manually handling form submissions, they built an automated workflow connecting the form tool Tally, GitHub, and Discord using the automation platform Make. The setup routes three types of submissions — bug reports, feature requests, and general feedback — to GitHub Issues or Discussions with appropriate labels, while also sending alerts to a Discord channel. Bug reports and feature requests use GitHub's GraphQL API to populate existing issue templates, with an extra step to format any screenshot URLs for Markdown. The workflow provides a fallback since Tally still sends email copies of submissions if the automation fails.

Hacktron AI Researchers Hack OpenAI via Forum Exploit, Earn $6,500 Bug Bounty

On September 18, Ars Technica reported that researchers from Hacktron AI successfully compromised OpenAI systems using a multi-step attack chain. The breach began by exploiting a vulnerability in OpenAI's third-party Discourse forum, then escalated through internal sign-on systems to access an employee's ChatGPT account. Attackers ultimately exfiltrated sensitive code from GitHub and proposed unauthorized code changes before disclosing the findings. OpenAI acknowledged the researchers' report and awarded a $6,500 bug bounty for the discovery. The incident highlights how sequential, low-profile access steps can evade conventional single-request security scanners that do not analyze attack chains across multiple interactions.
