OpenAI segments GPT-6 into paid Sol and free Luna tiers
What happened
OpenAI has segmented its GPT-6 model into two versions: Sol for paid users and Luna for free users. The model, which debuted in September, now uses an Intelligent UI capability to supplement answers with interactive graphics, forms, and charts, rather than relying solely on text. This new capability allows users to interact with the generated visuals, such as adjusting ingredient quantities in a recipe chart.

Why it matters
The introduction of the tiered model and the new interactive capabilities aims to provide more visual and functional responses to users. This segmentation could increase paid subscription revenue for OpenAI.
