- Seen in: Turing Post

OpenAI has made GPT-6.1 Terra available in Work, Codex and the API. The model is priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, which Turing Post says is half the per-token cost of GPT-5.6 Terra.

Turing Post's Ksenia Se called the model "pretty good" and said she uses it most of the time now. That is an informal endorsement, not a measurement.

## Why it matters

Teams paying per token for vision or computer-use workloads may see lower costs if they move from GPT-5.6 Terra to this model.

## What you can do

Teams running visual or computer-use workloads could test GPT-6.1 Terra against their current model to measure both quality and cost.
