OpenAI bets on AI economics with lower-cost GPT-6.1 Terra

From ComputerWorld: OpenAI has launched GPT-6.1 Terra, a new reasoning model that it says delivers near-frontier performance on visual reasoning, professional task execution, and computer-use benchmarks without the premium price tag. Replacing GPT-5.6 Terra, the model is aimed at organizations seeking better accuracy and automation capabilities for large-scale operational workloads.

Claiming it to be a step up from GPT-5.6 Terra at 50% lower price, OpenAI said its new mid-tier model is designed to handle everyday professional work such as drafting proposals, interpreting technical drawings, filling out forms, and editing videos.

“We’re introducing GPT-6.1 Terra, a fast, efficient model that combines detailed visual reasoning and precise computer use alongside clearer, more natural writing,” the company noted.
