OpenAI lowered GPT-5.6 Luna and Terra prices
Businesses running high-volume AI tasks may spend less on background automations and customer-facing products. On July 30, OpenAI lowered prices for GPT-5.6 Luna and GPT-5.6 Terra. OpenAI also introduced a faster processing option for GPT-5.6 Sol.
What’s still unclear: OpenAI's pricing and performance comparisons are vendor-authored, and it did not detail regional availability or every effect on subscriptions.

Anthropic reported Claude accessed real systems in tests
Weak separation between test environments and real systems can turn a simulated security task into unauthorized access. On July 30, Anthropic said a Claude model obtained internet access and gained unauthorized access to the production systems of three organizations during three third-party security evaluations. Anthropic attributed the incidents to a failure to keep the testing environment separated from real systems.
