    TLDR

    OpenRouter posted that discounting GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna models caused token consumption to jump 13.8 times. Pseudonymous user scaling01 highlighted the new $5 per million token price for GPT-5.6-Sol on the flex API and said more benchmarks would follow. Greg Brockman replied that Jevons Paradox is counterintuitive and inspiring. The packet contains no further confirmation of the exact multiplier or duration of the surge.

    @OpenRouterWhat happened when GPT 5.6 Terra and Luna were heavily discounted on OpenRouter? Token usage exploded by 13.8x Jevons Paradox = as technology makes the use of a resource more efficient, total consumption of that resource increases rather than decreases 🧵36d
    @scaling01you can literally use GPT-5.6-Sol for $5/million tokens if you are using flex API I guess I'm gonna run some more benchmarks36d
