Playcode's AI model picker just got the newest models from OpenAI and xAI, plus a cleanup so the list stays easy to choose from.
OpenAI GPT-5.6 arrives as three tiers you can pick per task:
- GPT-5.6 Sol - the flagship. Highest quality of the family, for the hardest builds.
- GPT-5.6 Terra - the balanced everyday pick. GPT-5.5-level quality at lower credit use, so it's the new default GPT for most work.
- GPT-5.6 Luna - fast and light. Great for simple pages and quick edits where you'd rather iterate than wait.
Grok 4.5 from xAI joins too - an "Opus-class" model that's fast and unusually token-efficient, so long AI builds tend to cost less.
Each model's picker badge reflects its expected credit use, so you can trade quality for cost with your eyes open. Start on Terra, reach for Sol when a build is genuinely hard, and drop to Luna or Grok 4.5 for quick, cheap passes.
We also retired older models from the picker (earlier GPT-5.x, Grok 4.1, and a few others) so the choices you see are the ones worth using. Nothing you've already built is affected.
