What is changing?
OpenAI released GPT‑6.1 Terra as a fast, efficient model combining visual understanding and precise computer use with more natural writing. The company positions it for screen-based work such as interpreting technical drawings, filling forms, editing video and processing documents at high volume.
In OpenAI’s own evaluations, Terra scored 15 points higher than GPT‑5.6 Terra on Agents’ Last Exam at medium reasoning while costing about one-third as much. It solved 50.3% of Terminal‑Bench 4.0 tasks at maximum effort; OpenAI says GPT‑6.1 Sol and GPT‑6 Astra remain better choices for the most complex coding work.
