# OpenAI GPT-6 Luna API

> GPT-6 Luna is the smallest, fastest tier of OpenAI's GPT-6 reasoning family, described by OpenAI as its most efficient model for focused, high-volume tasks, with text and image input. It was trained with methods similar to GPT-6 Astra to carry much of that model's strengths into a faster tier. Choose it for high-throughput chat, extraction and lightweight agent steps, and move to GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra when work needs deeper reasoning.
