Anthropic prices Claude Opus 5.5 20 percent below its predecessor Opus 5: $4 per million input tokens, $20 per million output tokens, and cache reads cost 60 percent less. OpenAI answered the same day with GPT-6 Sol and Luna, each at half the price of its predecessor – $2 and $10 for Sol, $0.10 and $0.50 for Luna. Cached input tokens get a 90 percent discount.
Our take: applications that read a lot benefit most. Anyone processing long documents or having a second model double-check a result now pays less in production, all the more when the same context is served from the cache again and again.

Whether the cheaper model works just as reliably in your own workflow is something only a test on your own data will show.
With taktoro.de and taktoro.com, our new product for companies in Germany is live: time tracking that checks every entry against the German Working Hours Act (ArbZG) before it is saved. Breaks, rest periods, maximum working hours and the record-keeping duty are built in, not booked as add-ons. Developed and hosted in Hamburg.
From 11 to 14 September we're at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam — no booth of our own, but you'll find us hanging around the German Pavilion at the RAI most of the time. We're there to network: catching up with partners, customers and friends from the broadcast and media industry. If you're around too, get in touch.
MJML turns a simple markup language into responsive HTML email, usually with a Node toolchain doing the work behind it. We ported it to PHP end to end: php-mjml/php-mjml needs no Node.js, no second runtime in the deployment. It has rendered this website's emails since February; as of this week it's open under the MIT licence for anyone to use.
