is it? i don't know how we measure these things, but here's one measurement that says v4 pro is better than luna: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/comparisons/gpt-5-6-lun...

presumably it's a much bigger model

This has already been updated with the new prices?

The intelligence scores are absolute, not per $.

DeepSeek Pro is more capable than Luna regardless of the cost.

There's also a cost graph on the same page and the context of this conversation is cost vs performance frontier.

That’s comparing Luna on medium thinking with Deepseek on max. If you switch Luna to xhigh in that comparison it’s considerably more capable while still also cheaper.

You are comparing Luna medium to Deepseek Max, when you switch to Luna high it's cheaper per task than DS and has a better intelligence score, which goes higher yet on xhigh and max reasoning levels.
