Luna saw a huge jump after the price cut and is one of the more competitive models at the new price on openrouter.
Maybe they want to see how much market they can grab with Sol?
This might help but there are already cheaper models with Sol's intelligence more or less, the most notable being Grok 4.6 at $6/m which makes it a tougher sell
Since when does Grok 4.6 have Sol 5.6's intelligence? I don't believe it.
It's really only between Anthropic and OpenAI for many of my use cases, since I have a Zero Data Retention agreement with both. I'm not trusting random inference providers and especially not Elmo with sensitive data.
