GPT-6.1 Terra is the faster, cheaper model in OpenAI's GPT-6.1 series, aimed at writing and visual reasoning. It takes text and images, has a 1,050,000-token context and six reasoning_effort levels (default medium). It supports JSON schema output. Per token it costs less than GPT-6.1 Sol.

Billing note: according to the docs, max_completion_tokens is currently not enforced on this model (a 40-token cap returned about 480 tokens). Control length in the prompt and with a lower reasoning_effort.

Best for

  • Marketing copy, emails and product descriptions in bulk
  • Describing and analysing photos, screenshots and scanned documents
  • Assistants and chats where speed matters
  • First drafts that a stronger model polishes later
