On October 27, 2026, OpenAI released a new artificial intelligence model, GPT-6.1 Terra. According to the company, the system combines visual information analysis, computer control, and natural text generation, while offering a high level of intelligence at a reduced price. The release is positioned as a tool for everyday working tasks: from preparing business proposals and reading incoming invoices to interpreting technical drawings, filling out forms, and editing video.

What GPT-6.1 Terra Can Do

The new model is focused on performing applied tasks regularly faced by office and professional users. In its list of capabilities, OpenAI highlights working with documents and invoices, interpreting blueprints, filling out electronic forms, and even video editing. The company also emphasizes the model's high efficiency when working with interfaces — meaning scenarios where the AI must "see" the screen and act within it rather than just generate text.

Benchmarks: Intelligence Boost with Lower Cost

In the specialized Agents' Last Exam test, the model scores 15 percentage points higher than GPT-5.6 Terra, while the cost of completing tasks, according to OpenAI, is roughly three times lower. In the Terminal-Bench 4.0 command-line programming test, the system successfully solves 50.3 percent of tasks, more than double its predecessor's result (21.5 percent).

Combating Hallucinations

Developers directed significant resources toward reducing the frequency of model errors. In internal tests with adversarial prompts at low reasoning effort, GPT-6.1 Terra's error rate dropped from 53.6 percent in GPT-5.6 Terra to 16.7 percent. At maximum reasoning settings, the error rate is just 4.3 percent.

Safety and Abuse Protection

Developers have preserved and improved defense mechanisms against malicious instructions and cyber threats. According to OpenAI, GPT-6.1 Terra honestly notifies the user about task execution limitations and adheres better to set behavioral boundaries, which is crucial for corporate use cases.

Pricing and Availability

Standard API usage pricing has been reduced by 50 percent compared to GPT-5.6 Terra. Starting October 27, GPT-6.1 Terra is available to Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users in ChatGPT and Codex, as well as to developers via the API.
