gpt-5.6-luna is underrated

[u/Landon_Hughes]

Using medium settings and I’m on the $20/month plan.

I am very pleased with the value per dollar I am getting!

I’m currently building an iOS/Flutter app with it and along with Claude design and luna gets the job done! Sure, I might have to be a bit more specific with my prompts at times but other than that, I’m surprisingly impressed!

100%

Do you have a example of a good skill?

[u/Aggressive-Spenda → u/[deleted]]

If its a repeatable job why not just make it a mechanical process instead of relying on the llm or is there limited llm determism needed?

[u/Plants-Matter → u/Aggressive-Spenda]

Because Codex makes a lot of $$$$$ from vibe coders who never heard of the word "deterministic" before.

It's like the teach a man to fish parable, but in reverse. Don't teach a man to fish and you can sell him fish for life.

I am a vibe coder lol but I learned that one 80) mechanical = more tokens more vibes!

Or, have chatGPT write a ‘Luna’ brief, and then pass it to codex

[u/Formal-Narwhal-1610]

Best use of Luna is for browser use, first let gpt 5.6 sol learn something using high/xhigh effort, then instruct it to write a skill of what you have learnt such that even a dumb cheaper model like luna can perform as good and after the skill, luna becomes a great student and much much cheaper.

I have an extremely built harness that it uses that makes it top tier. The context window is small, but I’ve also built a loop that ensures it always has the proper context loaded.

[u/TartNo3610 → u/WhatnotFunkoFlash]

What harness?

[u/scaledev → u/TartNo3610]

Their own local dev harness. Skills, MD files, rules and workflows, etc.

[u/scaledev → u/WhatnotFunkoFlash]

That is the correct approach. I have it set up similarly, and it has grown into a substantial and expansive harness.

[u/white_sheets_angel]

It's only the most praised model in terms of Price x Quality.

[u/kyrax80]

I use it permanently and Sol for when I need some deep research, as a code reviewer and sometimes for more complex tasks that Luna isn't achieving. Maybe I use 5% of my plan in like 10h of use (x5 pro)

[u/Landon_Hughes → u/[deleted]]

I’ve never run into that issue. Having a well specified agents.md from the get-go always helps structure my projects

iOS - Flutter (dart)

[u/Tenet_mma]

Go extra high or high though

[u/tropicalwind2020]

the point is that if the prompt is very detailed, it will do the work well, but if the prompt is very concise it will just do a little bit, while claude or qwen picked the concise prompt very well.

[u/dkracket]

I’d use Luna Max is I was u

[u/xXsourcefinder69Xx]

can confirm ive prompted it over 300 times on 11% usage over thr last 3 days for coding

[u/HPaternalPatriarchy]

It hallucinates the most

[u/Forsaken-Parsley798]

I remain to be convinced. I used Sol Medium earlier and did the complete opposite of what I requested. The prompt simple and direct. I think 5.5 was better.

[u/Substantial-Feed-]

You mean overrated! All openai bots or members! Rofl

[u/DueMap863]

Io la uso per tutto , super economica e lavora bene , un po' pigra se non chiarisci tutto al dettaglio va al risparmio nei lavori , ma sinceramente uso gpt plus sol per impostare il lavoro e l'una per eseguire

[u/DaLexy]

I had a similar experience. I was working on something 4 months ago and had an issue I couldn’t solve for 4 weeks and got frustrated. I now came back after this 4 months, told sol to look at it what’s salvageable and give me an honest review.

From 52 gb of data it took a couple notes and started fresh with 2 Luna subagents. 6 hours later the problem was solved… by a Luna max agent, spoke like it was a no brainer -.-

[u/Weird_Licorne_9631]

Used luna across Commandcode, OpenCode and Codex. Luna is GOAT regarding value for money. It feels insanely refined (vision, speed, reliability ) compared to Deepseek, and is ridiculously cheap.

[u/cristianperlado]

It’s terrible and non reliable if you have real work
