OpenAI and Anthropic are cutting prices on their latest AI models to retain customers drawn to cheaper alternatives from Chinese developers like Moonshot and DeepSeek. Rising AI costs have pushed businesses to reduce usage and hunt for more affordable options.
OpenAI announced an 80% price cut for its GPT-5.6 Luna model, while Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5 at half the price of its flagship Fable 5. The moves mark an escalating price war driven by intensifying global competition.
