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=100,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.000220 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $0.20/MTok
# Output: $1.20/MTok

Highest-quality affordable option: Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite at $0.000400/call (1.8x the cost, 85/100 quality). GPT 5.6 Luna is already the cheapest choice for sentiment analysis.

What drives sentiment analysis cost

Short text in, a label or score out: the cheapest shape an API call can take. Output pricing is irrelevant at this size. Because these run in bulk over historical data as often as in real time, the batch API discount typically applies, and the effective rate lands well below list.

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 500/100 token split, output accounts for 55% of the $0.000220 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 $0.000090 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.
