GPT-6 Astra drove a Toyota Corolla through a cone obstacle course in the DrivingBench benchmark. It completed the roughly 130-meter centerline course on its second attempt in 5 minutes and 22 seconds while staying within 4 meters of the centerline. The results showed Astra outperforming other tested models, shifting the focus toward whether general-purpose language models can control physical systems without being trained for driving.

OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna as cheaper-to-run variants built on GPT-6 alongside Astra. Sol now costs $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, down from $4 and $20 respectively. The lower prices and revised prompt caching reduce per-task costs and make the models more cost-competitive for agent-style workflows, though independent tests show mixed performance and some drops on knowledge-work benchmarks.

OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna as deployable, API-only additions to its GPT-6 model lineup. GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna API pricing was cut by 50% versus GPT-5.6 promotional pricing, with Sol at $2/$10 and Luna at $0.10/$0.50 per 1M tokens for input/output. The change lowers inference costs and adds improved prompt caching controls that can discount cached input up to 90% and reduce prompt tokens needing fresh processing by more than 50%.

The biggest AI-adjacent story today isn’t a model release—it’s power. The U.S. military and NASA are pushing microreactors to keep critical systems alive when the grid fails, after Antares’ Mark-0 microreactor cleared a successful criticality test. The Department of Defense followed up with a $161 million award for the R1-S reactor to earn spacecraft flight certification, while Project Janus plans to fund 20 microreactors across Lower 48 bases through the early 2030s. The logic is simple: if your communications, sensors, or autonomy stack goes dark, the smartest software in the world can’t compensate.
