OpenAI’s New Model Costs a Tenth as Much. We Tested It

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra on October 26, 2026. As Digital Trends reports it, Terra "even matches GPT-6 Astra at one-tenth the price per token and finishes tasks over 3× faster on average than both Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol." Android Authority: "OpenAI says that the new Terra completes computer-use tasks three times faster than the latest Astra and Sol." OpenAI's own pricing page lists Terra at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, and GPT-6 Astra at $10 and $50.
