GPT-6.1 Terra launches for Work, Codex and the API

ChatGPTNew modelConfirmed

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra, a fast, efficient model that combines detailed visual reasoning and precise computer use with clearer, more natural writing.

  • In ChatGPT Work and Codex, OpenAI says the same usage allowance covers more tasks than with GPT-5.6 Terra, and your plan's overall usage limits are unchanged.
  • Developers can use it through the OpenAI API as gpt-6.1-terra.
  • Standard API pricing is $1 per million input tokens, $0.05 per million cached input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, which OpenAI says is 50% lower than GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
  • Some Plus and Pro users may see GPT-6.1 Terra at Medium instead of GPT-6.1 Sol at Light in the default Power presets in Work.
Who can use it
