Microsoft has made GPT-6 Sol and Luna generally available in Microsoft Foundry, expanding its GPT-6 lineup alongside Astra for production AI agents and enterprise workloads.

Microsoft said GPT-6 Sol targets general-purpose production use, including enterprise agents, coding, long-context analysis and multi-step workflows that use tools.

Luna is the smaller, faster model aimed at high-volume tasks such as extraction, summarisation, request routing and routine customer interactions.

GPT-6 Astra remains Microsoft’s recommended option for demanding work involving advanced reasoning, software engineering and computer use.

GPT-6 Astra, Sol, and Luna are now available in Microsoft Foundry. Help agents accomplish more while reducing costs.
