GPT-6 Luna, Sol, and Claude Opus 5.5

Three major AI models launched in a single afternoon (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna), and most of the coverage chased the wrong headline. In this episode, host Emily Laird cuts through the release-day theater to show why the cheapest model may matter most, with Luna matching an older flagship's factual reliability at roughly one-hundredth of the cost. She also breaks down test-time compute scaling, how long-running agents turn cheap tokens into expensive workflows, and what Anthropic's bet on endurance over price really means. If your AI strategy still amounts to "buy the smartest model," this is your reality check on when the expensive one is actually worth paying for.
