OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra on October 26, 2026. It is rolling out in ChatGPT and Codex and is available through the API.
What happened
API pricing is $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens. OpenAI says that is 50% lower than both GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
BleepingComputer reports that OpenAI claims up to 3x faster agent performance.
In OpenAI's line-up, Terra sits between Sol and Luna, making it the middle of the three model tiers.
Why it matters for creators
Cheaper mid-tier models lower the cost of the AI script, prompt and caption generation used alongside video tools.
Many video workflows lean on a language model before any footage is generated: drafting scripts, breaking them into shots, writing prompts and producing captions. These steps are often run many times per project, so a 50% price cut adds up for tools and teams working at volume.
The speed claim comes from OpenAI and is reported by BleepingComputer, so it is best checked against real tasks.
