GPT-6 Sol or Luna? Which New ChatGPT Model to Use for What. Plus How to Set Up Meta’s Muse and Google’s AI Hours Test

Welcome to the AI Industry Report, daily AI news for small business, built by AI, about AI, from the Agentic Marketing Academy. It’s Friday, September 25th. Three stories and one rumor, and if you’ve been wondering which of ChatGPT’s new models you’re supposed to use for what, today you get the plain answer. Let’s go.

This week OpenAI shipped two new models, and the names don’t tell you much, so here’s the plain version. GPT-6 Sol is for the hard stuff: long jobs with a lot of steps, building things, anything where a mistake costs you. GPT-6 Luna is for everyday office work. OpenAI’s own examples are summarizing documents, pulling details out of them, and answering quick questions. So Luna is the one you hand a stack of invoices. Sol is the one you hand the project. Two numbers matter. OpenAI says the new models cost about half as much to run as the last generation, and it says Sol makes about half as many factual mistakes as the model before it. Those are OpenAI’s own tests, not independent ones. OpenAI also claims both beat Anthropic’s newest models, which came out ninety minutes earlier. Grain of salt, but it tells you how close this race is. Now, where are they? Not in regular chat. They live in the Work tab and in Codex on paid plans. On the free plan or Go, you can try Luna in the ChatGPT desktop app. So if you pay for ChatGPT and you’ve never opened the Work tab, that’s where the upgrade went.

Now, Muse. Yesterday we covered what Meta announced. Today, what you can actually do with it. Inc. walked through the setup, and it’s a few minutes. Download Muse from Meta, or go to muse dot A I on a computer. Sign in with your email, phone, Instagram, or Facebook, and verify your age. Then connect Gmail and Google Calendar. From there it can sort your inbox, draft replies, schedule meetings, and keep going after you close the laptop. It also connects to Notion, Box, and Granola. Meta’s chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, pitched it straight at you: it can help you run your small business, and you can walk away from your computer while it keeps working. More than two and a half million people have downloaded it. One caution before you hand over your inbox. Muse asks for your approval on big actions like sending an email or buying something, and Meta still hasn’t published the transaction fee it mentioned this week. So start with drafts and your calendar, and keep sends and purchases on approval. Source: Inc., September 24th.

Quick one before the rumor. Google looks like it’s testing an AI shortcut in Google Business Profile. A screenshot posted on X by Ayman Ali, and shared by Search Engine Roundtable, shows a box called Set your hours automatically. You describe your hours in plain words, like closed Sundays, nine to five weekdays, half day Saturday, and Google’s AI turns that into the day-by-day hours on your listing. Google hasn’t announced it or said who’s getting it, so if you don’t see it, nothing’s wrong. If you do, it’s the fastest way to get your holiday hours right before November.

And one rumor. TestingCatalog reports Google is giving some trusted testers a new Tasks mode in the Gemini desktop app. That’s Gemini operating your computer for you, with a setting for which apps it’s allowed to touch, and a button to talk to it out loud while it works. TestingCatalog hasn’t used it yet, and Google hasn’t announced it. If it ships, ChatGPT, Muse, and Gemini will all be doing hands-on work on your computer. Nothing to do yet.

So here’s your one thing for today. If you pay for ChatGPT, open the Work tab and give Luna one boring job, like summarizing last month’s emails from your biggest customer. If it saves you twenty minutes, you just found your new assistant.
