Why this model scores 80.8

Capability, autonomy, misuse, and control difficulty remain unchanged. Deployment rises from 98 to 99 because OpenAI made Luna the default for Free and Go users and announced unlimited text chats at a service it says reaches one billion people weekly, subject to abuse guardrails and non-text limits.

MODEL-ATTRIBUTED EVIDENCE

News tied to GPT-5.6 Luna

The model score of 80.8 rates this model's risk profile. The overall Doom Index of 67.9 measures the complete temporally weighted evidence record. These values answer different questions.

NET MODEL-ATTRIBUTED INDEX CONTRIBUTION+0.20

Each article's current Doom Index contribution is divided equally among the exact models named on that article. This prevents multi-model evidence from being claimed in full on several model pages. Model risk scores use a bounded temporal offset around their technical profile, but never feed back into the overall index.

Deployment TOWARD

AWS deploys GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna to US government cloud regions

AWS made GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna generally available through Amazon Bedrock in both AWS GovCloud regions. AWS explicitly positions the models for autonomous coding agents, long-horizon genomics and biology analysis, advanced cybersecurity research, and million-token agent histories.
