What the tiers mean

"Clears" marks the highest rung where every task at it and below was solved. Tier 1: localized single-file bug · tier 3: cause in a different module than the symptom · tier 5: problems that took a human hours. A cleared rung solved every task on it; a partial rung solved some. The headline stops at the last unbroken rung, so a solved tier above a half-solved one counts only as partial.

Clears level 1 of 5 (partial at levels 2, 3, 4 and 5) on Vibe coding v1 - the vaguest report level at which it still fixed every bug, having also cleared every richer level below

What the levels mean

Level 1: a full brief naming the surface and the acceptance · level 3: the report as filed · level 5: a vague vibe report in a non-technical user's words. Context falls as the level rises, so vaguer is harder. A cleared level fixed every bug at it and below; a partial level fixed some. The headline stops at the last unbroken level, so a fix above a half-cleared level counts only as partial.

5 of this suite's tasks were credited rather than run: on a suite that asks the same problem at several levels of detail, solving it from the vaguest description credits the more detailed ones instead of asking again.

Run on codex-cli codex-cli 0.155.1, model gpt-6-luna (-c model_reasoning_effort=medium), week 2026-W39.

One run of this suite consumes 1.0% of ChatGPT Plus's 5h window and 1.0% of the weekly limit.

ChatGPT Plus's weekly limit holds about 6 fully spent 5h windows, out of the 33.6 a calendar week contains. Published at 6.0 while the native sample is two session windows deep; the codex meter only began reporting both windows on 2026-08-31.

How the plan cost was measured

Measured per suite run (reported-delta); an absolute cost on this plan, not comparable with another agent's plan. Measured on a shared personal subscription during a quiet window, not a dedicated bench login.

Run on codex-cli codex-cli 0.155.1, model gpt-6-luna (-c model_reasoning_effort=medium), week 2026-W39.

One run of this suite consumes under 1% of ChatGPT Plus's weekly limit. The meter reports whole percent and did not move over the run, so this is the resolution's ceiling, not a measured share - at the plan's listed price, at most $0.011 per task.

ChatGPT Plus's weekly limit holds about 6 fully spent 5h windows, out of the 33.6 a calendar week contains. Published at 6.0 while the native sample is two session windows deep; the codex meter only began reporting both windows on 2026-08-31.

One point per grading week - a re-run within a week shows only its latest execution. Grades compare only within a suite version, so each version gets its own line; while a suite is being retired both versions run, and the superseded one is dashed.

Frequently asked questions

Is GPT-6 Luna worth it on ChatGPT Plus?

On our private real-world suite (real-world@v3), GPT-6 Luna earned grade D+ with 50% capability, clearing every problem up to tier 2 of 5 - a bug spanning a few files and landing some tier 5 problems. It runs on ChatGPT Plus at $20/month (public price as of 2026-07-20). One full suite run consumed 1.0% of the plan's week window. Measured 2026-09-23.

Is GPT-6 Luna good for coding?

GPT-6 Luna clears tier 2 of our five-tier real-world ladder - every task at that tier and below - where tier 1 is a localized single-file bug and tier 5 is a problem that took a human engineer hours. It solves some but not all tasks up at tier 5. Its capability score on real-world@v3 is 50% (grade D+). Last benchmarked 2026-09-23.

How much of ChatGPT Plus does one GPT-6 Luna task use?

One full suite run consumed 1.0% of ChatGPT Plus's weekly limit, read off the provider's own meter before and after the run. A benchmark task is a whole multi-turn agent session, not a message, and the share belongs to this plan alone: it is not comparable with another agent's plan. Measured 2026-09-23.
