GPT-⁠6 Luna

OpenAI's fast GPT-⁠6 model for everyday writing, notes and code, free on Overchat AI, with a 1M-⁠token context

About GPT-⁠6 Luna

GPT-⁠6 Luna is the smallest and fastest model of OpenAI's GPT-⁠6 family, below GPT-⁠6.1 Terra, GPT-⁠6.1 Sol and GPT-⁠6 Astra. It reads text, images and files, holds about 1 million tokens in one conversation and writes up to 128,000 tokens in one answer

GPT-⁠6 Luna solves 66.6% of the real software tasks in DeepSWE v1.1, close to Claude Opus 5 at medium effort, and makes 37% fewer factual mistakes than GPT-⁠5.6 Luna. It scores 83.3% on AA-LCR, the best result among the models it is compared with at reading very long documents

GPT-⁠6 Luna is free on Overchat AI: a free account gets 100 credits every day with no card, and a GPT-⁠6 Luna message takes 3 of them. In the same chat you can switch to Claude, Gemini or DeepSeek

Write a short, polite email to my landlord asking to fix the broken heater this week. It has been cold in the apartment for three days.

GPT-6 Luna

Subject: Heater Repair Request

Hi [Landlord’s Name],

Could you please arrange to have the broken heater fixed this week? The apartment has been cold for the past three days, and I’d appreciate your help resolving this as soon as possible.

Thank you,
[Your Name]

My JavaScript prints [object Promise] instead of the user data. Explain why in two sentences and fix it: const data = fetch('/api/user').then(r => r.json()); console.log(data.name);

GPT-6 Luna

fetch() is asynchronous, so data is a Promise and data.name is accessed before the user data has arrived. Use await inside an async function:

js
async function loadUser() {
  const response = await fetch('/api/user');
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data.name);
}

loadUser();
