GPT-5.6 Luna vs Qwen 3.6 Flash, the Alibaba API alias for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, compared across official coding, agent, reasoning and vision benchmarks, context, multimodality and pricing.
GPT-5.6 Luna vs GPT-5.4 mini compared across official coding, reasoning, tool-use, multimodal, computer-use and long-context results, plus pricing and a practical routing strategy.
GPT-5.6 Luna vs MiniMax M3 compared across coding, browsing, 1M context, video input, agent workflows, pricing and open-weight deployment. Luna leads published coding rows; M3 brings multimodal value.
GPT-5.6 Luna vs DeepSeek V4 Pro: a sourced comparison of coding, 1M context, reasoning modes, MIT weights, caching, pricing, tools and deployment economics.
GPT-5.6 Luna vs GLM 5.2 compared across coding, reasoning, long context, tools, pricing, licensing and deployment. Luna has the stronger managed capability package; GLM 5.2 brings MIT weights and lower output cost.
GPT‑5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna compared across official coding, agentic, professional, science, computer-use, long-context, academic, tool-use, and cybersecurity benchmarks—with pricing tables, charts, radar, and a practical routing guide.
GPT-5.6 Sol vs Claude Fable 5: Sol leads on agentic coding and price; Fable leads SWE-bench Pro and aggregate intelligence. Rich charts, radar, cost math, and sourced guidance.
GPT-5.6 Sol vs Terra: a detailed family comparison across pricing, 1M context, coding, professional work, science, computer use, charts, radar, and a practical routing strategy.
GPT-5.6 Sol vs Claude Opus 4.8: detailed comparison across pricing, caching, 1M context, coding and professional benchmarks, long context, MCP Atlas, graphs, radar, and routing guidance.
GPT-5.6 Terra vs Claude Sonnet 5: nearly identical standard output pricing, 1M+ context, and a close SWE-bench Pro result—yet sharply different terminal scores, tooling, availability, and intro pricing.
Grok 4.5 (SpaceXAI, $2/$6, 80 TPS) vs GPT-5.5 (OpenAI, $5/$30). Grok beats GPT-5.5 on SWE-bench Pro (64.7% vs 58.6%, +6.1 pts). Near-tie on TB 2.1 (83.3 vs 83.4). GPT-5.5 leads DeepSWE (+14 on 1.1) with 15+ benchmarks. Grok counters with 5x cheaper output and ~15x cheaper per task. 5 charts.
Grok 4.5 (SpaceXAI, $2/$6 per 1M, 80 TPS) vs Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic, $5/$25). Opus leads SWE-bench Pro (69.2% vs 64.7%) and has 9+ published benchmarks. Grok counters with TB 2.1 (83.3% vs 78.9%), 4.2x fewer tokens, 2.3x faster, ~17x cheaper per task. 5 charts.
