GPT-5.6 Preview System Card - OpenAI Deployment Safety Hub
GPT-5.6 is a new family of three models: Sol, our new flagship model; Terra, a capable lower-cost option; and Luna, our fastest and most cost-efficient model. The safeguards we have built for this launch -- our most robust yet -- are built to deliver these models safely and at scale, around the world.
