How the 272K threshold works

OpenAI bills GPT-6 Luna at its standard rate up to 272,000 input tokens per request. Above that, the whole request moves to the long-context rate: input doubles to $0.20, output rises 1.5× to $0.75, cached input to $0.02. Because the jump is smaller and comes much later than Haiku 5.5's, Luna is usually the cheaper choice for prompts between 100K and 272K tokens.

How much does GPT-6 Luna cost?

$0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 272,000 tokens. Above that, the whole request is billed at $0.20 input and $0.75 output.

Does GPT-6 Luna have prompt caching?

Yes. Cached input is $0.01 per million tokens and cache writes are $0.125 per million on the standard tier ($0.02 and $0.25 above 272K).

Is there a batch or flex discount?

Yes, Batch and Flex are both half the standard price.

How large is the context window?

1,050,000 tokens, of which up to 128K can be output.
