OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Terra for lower-cost computer-use tasks
- Event
- Published

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra in ChatGPT Work, Codex and its API, pricing it at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens. OpenAI reports gains in computer use, coding and factuality over GPT-5.6 Terra, but the launch benchmarks and speed comparisons are vendor-run.
Why it matters
A cheaper computer-use model could widen agent deployment, while real-world reliability, permission handling and the vendor's benchmark claims still need independent testing.
