What these images do and don't show
  • These prices come from our capture alone — they were not confirmed against an independent second source.
  • 1 page had no counterpart in the earlier capture and is not shown.

Both images are our own captures, taken on the dates shown. The pixels are unmodified — nothing is retouched, and where a region is highlighted the marker is drawn over the image, not into it. Open either capture to see it at full resolution.

LiveKit quietly repriced two of the three GPT-5.6 SKUs it added to LiveKit Inference back on 2026-07-21. GPT-5.6 Luna, the cheapest of the three, dropped from $0.0040/min to $0.0008/min — an 80% cut — and GPT-5.6 Terra fell from $0.0101/min to $0.0081/min, a 20% cut. GPT-5.6 Sol, the priciest of the trio, held at $0.0203/min.

This is a genuine per-SKU repricing rather than the calculator-default swap LiveKit used in July to move its advertised blended rate: the pricing page’s default voice-agent estimate still reads $0.0672/min because that calculation runs on Gemma 4 31B, which wasn’t among the repriced models. No LiveKit Cloud plan price, allotment or overage rate moved — Build stays free, Ship $50/mo, Scale $500/mo, Enterprise custom.
