The story so far

OpenAI announced GPT-6.1 Terra, a model designed to interpret screens and act across apps, with rollout to paid ChatGPT subscribers reported underway and API and Codex access announced. OpenAI says Terra can interpret images, navigate software and write naturally. Baoyu reported that rollout covers ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Edu subscribers, with selection available in ChatGPT Work and Codex. API pricing is $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, compared with GPT-5.6 Terra’s $2 and $12, according to Artificial Analysis. In its evaluations at maximum effort, Artificial Analysis reported a 6-point Intelligence Index improvement and a cost per task of $0.40, down from $1.40. On AA-Omniscience, it reported a hallucination-rate decline from 88% to 38%, alongside a 2-point accuracy increase. Terra scored 48 on its Coding Agent Index v2.0, below GPT-6.1 Sol’s 54 and above GPT-6 Luna’s 31. Baoyu reported that OpenAI claims average task completion more than three times faster than Astra and Sol, while still recommending those models for deep research and complex coding.
