Quick start

Call GPT 5.6 Luna with the OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-luna",
    max_tokens=3000,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.003760 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $0.20/MTok
# Output: $1.20/MTok

What drives marketing copy cost

Marketing copy is generated in variants (the same brief producing many versions for testing), so cost scales with variant count rather than brief length. Requesting several variants in one call is markedly cheaper than several calls, because the brief and brand context are sent once instead of repeatedly.

For GPT 5.6 Luna specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $1.20 vs $0.20 per MTok. At this use case’s 800/3,000 token split, output accounts for 96% of the $0.003760 per-call cost.

Prompt caching: 90% off input tokens

Caching drops input cost from $0.20 to $0.02/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000144 per call.

Batch API: 50% off all tokens

Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.
