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/MTokPer-call cost for all models scoring 50+ on sentiment analysis benchmarks. Hover for details.
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.
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.
| Direction | $/MTok | Tokens per call |
|---|---|---|
| Input | $0.20 | 500 |
| Output | $1.20 | 100 |
Caching drops input cost from $0.20 to $0.02/MTok. For repeated system prompts, that saves $0.000090 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 sentiment analysis call using GPT 5.6 Luna costs about $0.000220 per call. This estimate uses 500 input tokens and 100 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 91 out of 100 on sentiment analysis benchmarks overall. It ranks #1 across all 88 models in our cross-provider registry. The highest-ranked model for this task is Gemini 3.5 Flash from Gemini. That model scores 92/100 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 sentiment analysis above 80/100 quality is Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite. It comes from Gemini at $0.30 per million input tokens. Output costs $2.50 per million tokens with a quality score of 85/100. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite 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 $0.000220 to about $0.000011 per call.

The right choice depends on whether your sentiment analysis 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 sentiment analysis, typical calls use 500 input and 100 output tokens. That is well within this limit, leaving room for longer prompts or multi-turn conversations.
