Looks like gpt-5.6-luna is a better option that ds4-flash in that llm market segment with the new pricing.

I'd argue ds4-flash is closer to terra than luna. Hence different price class.

DS Flash is still cheaper across the board, especially with caching. Unless you're in a peak hours region (eg asia)
