# OpenAI — GPT-5.6 Luna > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is the record of one model version: what the model registry states about it, OpenAI's launch post, the first-party posts this record holds about it, the outlets that reported on those posts, and other companies' announcements that it runs on their platforms. A model ranks nothing here and nothing is composed: each date names whose it is, and a field nothing states is `not stated` rather than missing. - This model's page: https://forck.live/models/gpt-5-6-luna - OpenAI's page: https://forck.live/company/openai - Every model: https://forck.live/models - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Model - Name: GPT-5.6 Luna - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Launch post: not held by this record - Announced: not stated - Launch source: not stated - Launch chosen by: not stated - Released (per models.dev): 2026-07-09 - Listed (per OpenRouter): 2026-07-09 - Open weights: no - Posts about it: 4 - Outlets named under its posts: 2 - Variant: GPT-5.6 Luna Pro — https://forck.live/models/gpt-5-6-luna-pro - OpenRouter id: openai/gpt-5.6-luna — https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-5.6-luna ## Posts about it _OpenAI's own posts whose title names GPT-5.6 Luna, and its launch post, in the record's order: dated newest first, undated last. The record reads the newest 50 first-party posts mentioning the model, every company's together, so a model mentioned more often than that lists the newest of them._ Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. ### OpenAI — Ringg’s AI agents resolve up to 65% of customer calls with OpenAI - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Announced: 2026-09-24 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://openai.com/index/ringg - Record: https://forck.live/items/13442-ringg-s-ai-agents-resolve-up-to-65-of-customer-calls-with-openai - Subject: GPT / ChatGPT / API Ringg, a voice and chat agent platform, uses OpenAI's GPT-5.6 models to power multilingual agents handling over 7 million connected calls per month. Migrating real-time workloads from GPT-4.1 to GPT-5.6 reduced model costs by approximately 90%.

Results 89% Accuracy for GPT-6 Astra on the hardest queries Results 78% Lower cost per document with GPT-5.6 Luna Results +11.6 pts Higher accuracy with GPT-5.6 Luna Today’s models can reason through complex tasks, but they don’t automatically understand the underlying business context of those tasks. Which fund report is current? How is the same entity named across three systems? That context lives in documents, data rooms, spreadsheets, emails, and internal tools: scattered, unresolved, and invisible to agents. For teams in finance, insurance, and real estate, retrieval accuracy within workflows is non-negotiable. After building a widely used computer vision accessibility app together, Rizzoli and Edwardsson started V7 in 2018 to help companies teach AI systems how their businesses work. V7 Go is an agentic platform to build mission critical workflows, and organize buried context into memory that agents can query and act on. … ### OpenAI — Replit expands access to software creation with GPT-5.6 Luna - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Announced: 2026-08-19T07:00:00+00:00 - Category: product-launch - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://openai.com/index/replit - Record: https://forck.live/items/4217-replit-expands-access-to-software-creation-with-gpt-5-6-luna - Subject: GPT / ChatGPT / API Replit introduces Free Mode, powered by GPT-5.6 Luna, to allow anyone to create software without worrying about token costs. ### OpenAI — Improving GPT‑5.6 Sol in ChatGPT—and expanding access to GPT-5.6 Luna for free users - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Announced: 2026-08-06T10:00:00+00:00 - Category: model-update - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: models - Source: https://openai.com/index/improving-gpt-5-6-sol-in-chatgpt - Record: https://forck.live/items/3622-improving-gpt-5-6-sol-in-chatgpt-and-expanding-access-to-gpt-5-6-luna-for-free - Subject: GPT / ChatGPT / API OpenAI announces an improved version of GPT-5.6 Sol in ChatGPT with better accuracy and consistency, and expands access to GPT-5.6 Luna for free users, including unlimited everyday chats. ## Who reported on it _Outlets this record can name and link, under the first-party post each one covered.
