- GPT-5.6 Sol: described as the flagship model for difficult coding problems and complex agent workflows. (Cursor announcement)
- GPT-5.6 Terra: described as a balanced model for everyday development work. (Cursor announcement)
- GPT-5.6 Luna: described as the fastest and most cost-efficient option for quick edits and iteration. (Cursor announcement)

How to use this update
If you want the best agent planning and persistence for complex work, start by trying Sol on one of your longer-running tasks (multi-file changes, tool-heavy debugging, or repo-wide refactors), then compare it against your current default model on the same prompt. (Cursor announcement)
If you’re optimizing for throughput (lots of smaller edits) and want faster iteration at lower cost, Cursor positions Luna as the workhorse tier. (Cursor announcement)
