OpenAI is preparing to make its GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna models broadly available to the public this Thursday, July 9. Multiple outlets report that the rollout follows a period in which access was limited to previews. OpenAI states in a post on X that it is expanding preview access globally and launching the models publicly on Thursday. Engadget and Digital Trends describe the move as the first wide availability after nearly two weeks of constrained preview access. Seeking Alpha similarly reports that GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna are set to launch globally on Thursday. The Hindu frames the update as occurring after a U.S. freeze, citing OpenAI’s statement that the models will launch publicly on Thursday and that OpenAI is now expanding global preview access. Across the reports, the core details that align are the model names (GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna), the public/global availability timing (July 9, described as Thursday), and the existence of a preceding preview phase.
