OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Terra at reduced API prices

OpenAI has launched its new GPT-6.1 Terra model, positioning it as a cost-effective option for tasks involving visual reasoning and computer use. The model is priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, significantly lower than its higher-tier counterparts like GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI claims GPT-6.1 Terra is over three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol on certain tasks and shows substantial improvements in benchmark performance and error rates compared to its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Terra.
