GPT-5.6 Terra
Balances intelligence and cost.
- OpenAI positions Terra between Astra and Luna.
- Fits everyday volume when Astra would be too expensive.

GPT-5.6 Luna
For cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads.
- Roughly corresponds to the earlier nano tier in the GPT-5 family.
- For many short requests and routine work, not for the hardest cases.

Limits
Free gives unlimited everyday text chats with GPT-5.6 Luna plus limited uploads, data analysis, image generation, voice and deep research. Go raises those limits and offers reasoning through Think with GPT-5.6 Luna; the help page states GPT-5.6 Sol and legacy models are not included, and OpenAI announces ad testing for this plan. Plus adds advanced reasoning models with GPT-6 Astra and GPT-5.6 plus expanded Astra access; Pro expands GPT-6 Astra and gives 5x or 20x more usage. Exact limits can change with system conditions. Business and Enterprise do not train on business data by default; Enterprise can contractually control retention, data residency and admin controls. For consumer offerings, OpenAI may use content for model improvement unless data controls are disabled for future conversations; Temporary Chats are deleted, do not save memory and are not used for training. API pricing and API data use do not belong to these ChatGPT plans.
