# Replit expands access to software creation with GPT-5.6 Luna

The no-token-cost mode lets millions of users plan and refine software projects before moving into Build Mode.

- Free Mode provides answers, suggestions, feedback, and analysis without consuming usage.
- Replit Agent uses the full context of a user’s project to help plan, ideate, shape, optimize, and explore ideas.
- Tasks requiring more advanced reasoning can be routed to GPT‑5.6 Sol before returning to Free Mode with project context preserved.

## Why it matters

People without technical backgrounds can now develop software ideas in the same environment where they can turn them into working applications.
