OPENAI JUST MADE ANALYTICS 10X CHEAPER

Summary from the TLDR Data newsletter

OpenAI's cheaper GPT 5.6 Luna shifts agentic analytics toward small, fast models paired with low-latency analytical databases, delivering highly accurate SQL answers for under half a cent while making frequent evals far more affordable. The advantage now comes less from using the smartest model and more from strong business context, rigorous model-agnostic evals, and a responsive data platform.
