Summary
OpenAI has released GPT-6.1 Terra, a model that specializes in reading screens and operating computers directly. Standard API pricing is $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, which the company says is 50% lower than GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-6.1 Sol. On the company's own benchmarks, Terra scores 15 percentage points higher than GPT-5.6 Terra on computer-use tasks (Agents' Last Exam) at about one-third the cost, and its error rate on error-inducing prompts fell from 53.6% to 16.7% at low reasoning effort. It is available immediately in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API.
Why it matters for our work
The price barrier for agents that handle repetitive computer work such as invoice entry and form filling has dropped sharply. A division of labor in which people focus on review and judgment while AI handles routine operations could speed up further.
