Compare GPT 5.2 Pro from OpenAI and GPT 5.6 Luna from OpenAI on key metrics including benchmarks, price, context length, and other model features. Access both models and hundreds of others through the AIHubMix API.
GPT 5.2 ProGPT 5.6 LunaGPT-5.2 pro is available in the Responses API only to enable support for multi-turn model interactions before responding to API requests, and other advanced API features in the future. Since GPT-5.2 pro is designed to tackle tough problems, some requests may take several minutes to finish. To avoid timeouts, try using background mode. GPT-5.2 pro supports reasoning.effort: medium, high, xhigh.
GPT-5.6 Luna is designed for cost-sensitive, high-volume workloads. It roughly corresponds to the nano model tier used in earlier GPT-5 families.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
Estimate your monthly bill for the same workload on each model.
Monthly = daily × 30. Discounted rates applied where a promotion is active.
