OpenAI officially previewed GPT-5.6 on June 26, 2026, introducing Sol (frontier reasoning), Terra (balanced, ~half GPT-5.5 cost), and Luna (fast and affordable).

Access is restricted to ~20 government-vetted partners while the US government completes its security review; broad availability is expected within weeks.
Codex rollout logs and developer tests point to gpt-5.6 (iris-alpha): a 1.5M-token context window, cleaner frontend UI output, and a crowded June 2026 launch window—still unconfirmed by OpenAI.

Plus isn’t a faster free tier—it’s a bundle of workflows. Here’s how I route real tasks through models, Memory, Projects, Canvas, research, Codex, study tools, and images without drowning in feature checklists.
