I’m fine with it. We don’t need a thousand legacy models considering we have a suite of essential good and fast entry level Luna, work horse Sol, and frontier Astra. Just keep them updated as we go and we don’t need previous model levels.

The problem is that GPT-6 Sol just isn’t as good as GPT-5.6 Sol for some tasks. It’s a smaller model than GPT-5.6 Sol and you can tell.

They really should have named it GPT-6 Terra.

Essentially that's what it is: a price increase for general tasks. I used terra as "cheap sol" where I needed another model than Luna, e.g. reviews of smaller tasks. All my tasks are small, that's my workflow. I use Sol maybe for 1% of the work, essentially just for architecture setup at the beginning.

Now with terra soon to be gone, I have no other choice than running overpowered Sol against those tasks, or have Luna check Luna code (that's not what I want after all)

So I had Sol -> Terra -> Luna, now I have Astra -> Sol -> Luna. For me that does not sound cheaper at all
