OpenAI GPT-6 Series Dominates Half of Agent Arena Frontier
- GPT-6 Luna dominates the sub-$0.10/task tier, costing 29% less than DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash.
- GPT-6.1 Sol defines the performance frontier between $0.22 and $0.65 per task.
- Test-time scaling indicates that switching reasoning effort levels within the same model optimizes cost-performance better than swapping models.
