Introduction to GPT-6.1 Terra
OpenAI has unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra, a specialized AI model designed to handle a variety of tasks efficiently. This new model is particularly suited for computer-based tasks such as form filling, video editing, technical drawing interpretation, and automating repetitive desktop work. The model is significantly more affordable than its larger siblings, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra, with pricing reduced by 50% to $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens.
Enhanced Capabilities
GPT-6.1 Terra is designed to excel in tasks that are central to the daily work routine, including drafting proposals, interpreting technical drawings, filling out forms, and editing videos. The model is a significant improvement over GPT-6.1 Terra, which was previously the fastest and most cost-effective option. On OpenAI's Agents' Last Exam, Terra outperformed GPT-6.1 Terra by 15 percentage points, scoring 16.7% in medium reasoning effort, and costing about one-third as much.
Performance and Accuracy
The new model is not only faster but also more accurate. Terra's error rate at low reasoning effort dropped from 53.6% to 16.7%, and at maximum effort, it fell to 4.3%, nearly matching the rates of GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol. Additionally, Terra's coding performance has improved, scoring 50.3% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 at maximum reasoning effort, which is more than double the score of GPT-5.6 Terra.
Pricing and Availability
GPT-6.1 Terra is now available to Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users in ChatGPT Work and Codex, as well as through the API as gpt-6.1-terra. The model's reduced pricing and improved performance make it a compelling choice for users looking for a more cost-effective and efficient AI solution.
Conclusion
GPT-6.1 Terra represents a significant step forward in AI agent capabilities, offering faster, more affordable, and more accurate solutions for a wide range of tasks. Its introduction underscores OpenAI's commitment to creating AI models that are not only powerful but also accessible to a broader audience.
