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=2000,
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.004000 per call at standard rates
# Input: $0.20/MTok
# Output: $1.20/MTokPer-call cost for all models scoring 50+ on meeting notes benchmarks. Hover for details.
Highest-quality affordable option: Gemini 3 Flash at $0.0100/call (2.5x the cost, 83/100 quality). GPT 5.6 Luna is already the cheapest choice for meeting notes.
Transcripts are long and low-density (an hour of conversation is a lot of tokens carrying comparatively little information) while the notes that come back are short. That ratio makes this a strong fit for a fast-tier model plus the batch API: notes rarely need to exist within seconds of the meeting ending, and batch discounts apply to the whole request.
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 8,000/2,000 token split, output accounts for 60% of the $0.004000 per-call cost.
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.20 | 8,000 |
| Output | $1.20 | 2,000 |
Caching drops input cost from $0.20 to $0.02/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.001440 per call.
Submit requests asynchronously and receive 50% off all token costs. This works best for offline pipelines where latency requirements are flexible.

A typical meeting notes call using GPT 5.6 Luna costs about $0.004000 per call. This estimate uses 8,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens at standard rates. Standard rates are $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens.
GPT 5.6 Luna scores 57 out of 100 on meeting notes benchmarks overall. It ranks #29 across all 88 models in our cross-provider registry. The highest-ranked model for this task is Gemini 3 Flash from Gemini. That model scores 83/100 on this task type. Confidence scores are a third-party benchmark snapshot from week 26 of 2026. This snapshot is 17 weeks old, so treat the scores as directional and validate against your own evals.
The most affordable model for meeting notes above 80/100 quality is Gemini 3 Flash. It comes from Gemini at $0.50 per million input tokens. Output costs $3.00 per million tokens with a quality score of 83/100. Gemini 3 Flash costs more per call than GPT 5.6 Luna but scores higher on quality benchmarks for this task type.
Three strategies lower GPT 5.6 Luna costs for this task type effectively. Prompt caching gives a 90% discount on input tokens when reusing system prompts. The batch API gives 50% off all tokens for asynchronous processing workloads. Prompt optimization reduces token counts through more concise instructions and context windows. Combining caching with batching brings your cost from $0.004000 to about $0.000200 per call.

The right choice depends on whether your meeting notes workload prioritizes quality, cost, or speed.
GPT 5.6 Luna supports a context window of 922K tokens per API call. This sets the maximum combined length of your input prompt and generated response. For meeting notes, typical calls use 8,000 input and 2,000 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
