About GPT-5.6
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 series represents the next-generation frontier intelligence family structured into three tiered variants: Sol (flagship reasoning and autonomous agents), Terra (balanced everyday production workhorse), and Luna (lightweight, ultrafast, cost-effective inference). It introduces new max and ultra (sub-agent coordination) reasoning modes, native programmatic tool calling, a 1M token context window with 128k output tokens, and a February 16, 2026 knowledge cutoff.
