Summary
Replit, a platform for building software, is now using GPT-5.6 Luna (a cost-effective AI model) to power its Free Mode, making advanced coding assistance available to millions of users at no cost. The improved price performance of GPT-5.6 Luna, combined with recent OpenAI price cuts, eliminates the cost barrier that previously limited access to AI-powered software creation tools.
