GPT-6.1 Terra brings a new cost and speed option for computer-based work
OpenAI introduces a model aimed at visual reasoning, writing, coding, and computer use, with lower standard API prices.
Tools: OpenAI · GPT-6.1 Terra
What happened
OpenAI announced GPT-6.1 Terra on October 26. It targets everyday computer tasks that combine visual understanding with action, including document work and software engineering. OpenAI says standard API prices are half those of GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
The launch lists API access as gpt-6.1-terra and availability for Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users in ChatGPT Work and Codex. Its performance comparisons come from OpenAI’s evaluations; they are not tests of Roseram projects.
