1. Claude Opus 5.5
Claude Opus 5.5 arrives with a promise of stronger coding performance and a smaller bill. Anthropic’s announcement says its new model performs at roughly Claude Fable 5.1’s level on most work, while costing forty percent less than Opus 5 on typical workloads.
2. GPT-6 Sol and Luna
GPT-6 Sol and Luna are OpenAI’s latest bid to make everyday AI work cheaper. The announcement puts Sol at two dollars per million input tokens and ten dollars per million output tokens, while Luna costs ten cents for input and fifty cents for output.
3. AI Writing Fatigue
