Artificial Analysis scores it 48 on its Intelligence Index, six above GPT-5.6 Terra and four below GPT-6.1 Sol.

The Decoder reports OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Terra release, priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output, versus $2 and $12 for GPT-5.6 Terra. Artificial Analysis says maximum-effort tasks cost $0.40 versus $1.40 and place the model on its cost-performance frontier. OpenAI says Terra matches GPT-6 Astra on Agents' Last Exam at one-tenth the token price and finishes more than three times faster than Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol. The system card puts Terra at OpenAI's Critical cybersecurity threshold and cites stronger prompt-injection resistance than GPT-5.6 Terra.

Unconfirmed: Performance, cost and safety rates are OpenAI or Artificial Analysis figures, not independently verified.

Key facts
  • Cached inputs are $0.05 per million tokens, a quarter of the previous rate.
  • AA-Omniscience guessing fell from 88% to 38% versus GPT-5.6 Terra.
  • Indirect prompt-injection defense is 98.8%, up from 96.2%.
  • Terminal-Bench 4.0 is 50.3% at maximum effort, up from 21.5%.
