OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Terra, a faster, cheaper mid-tier model

OpenAI has released GPT-6.1 Terra, a new model focused on visual reasoning and computer use, positioned as a mid-tier option between their faster, cheaper GPT-6.1 Luna and more powerful models like GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra. While Terra is priced at half that of Sol, it offers comparable performance on some benchmarks and significantly reduces hallucination rates compared to previous versions. Comparisons suggest that while Terra is faster and more cost-effective for many tasks, Sol remains superior for complex coding and in-depth research. AI

IMPACT Positions a faster, cheaper model for everyday tasks, potentially accelerating agent adoption and impacting cost-efficiency calculations for AI workflows.
