GPT-5.6

OpenAI

The model behind HumanLike Coworker — three tiers, one API surface.

GPT-5.6 is what actually runs inside HumanLike Coworker today. We expose it as three named tiers rather than raw effort settings, because in practice teams pick a speed/quality point once and keep it: Luna for everyday actions, Terra for drafting and tool use, Sol when the answer has to be right. Luna is the default for new workspaces.

Variants

3 ways to run it.

Same family, different quality/cost rung. Picking the wrong one is the most common way teams overpay.

Fit

Two audiences, one model.

The same model is a different proposition depending on what you point it at.

86/100

Recruitment fit

The pragmatic hiring default — Terra handles almost every screening and drafting task at a fraction of frontier cost.

Best for

  • CV screening at volume
  • Candidate Q&A
  • Interview note summarisation

Strengths

  • Three fixed tiers make cost per hire easy to model
  • Already wired into HumanLike, so nothing to integrate
  • Luna is fast enough to sit behind a live candidate chat

Watch out for

  • Sol is not a substitute for a human on final decisions
  • Public benchmark coverage for this alias is thin
