Model Card
GPT-5.6 Terra is OpenAI's mid-tier chat model in the GPT-5.6 family, positioned between the flagship Sol and the faster, cheaper Luna. OpenAI's documentation describes it as designed for workloads that balance intelligence and cost, corresponding to the mini tier used in earlier GPT-5 families. In OpenAI's naming system, the number marks a model's generation, while Sol, Terra, and Luna mark capability tiers that can each advance on their own schedule.
It has a 1,050,000 token context window, up to 128,000 output tokens, and a February 16, 2026 knowledge cutoff. Pricing is $2.50 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, between Luna's $1/$6 and Sol's $5/$30.
Terra accepts text and image input, supports function calling and tool use, and is aimed at high-volume business tasks such as customer support, internal tools, and document analysis, alongside everyday interactive and agentic coding where Sol's higher reasoning ceiling isn't needed.

GPT-6.1 Sol
GPT-6.1 Sol is OpenAI's mid-tier model in the GPT-6 family, released September 29, 2026 as an update to GPT-6 Sol. It sits below the flagship GPT-6 Astra, takes text and image input, supports tool calling, and has a 1,050,000-token context window with 128,000 max output tokens. Pricing is unchanged from GPT-6 Sol at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, while scores are higher. It reaches 75.2% on DeepSWE 1.1 (68.8% for GPT-6 Sol), 71.4% on OSWorld 2.0 (64.4%), and 32.0% on GDP.pdf (28.0%). Its factual error rate at low reasoning effort fell from 11.4% to 7.7%. In one third-party comparison table, GPT-6 Astra scores 74.8% on DeepSWE and 73.5% on OSWorld at roughly five times the price. GPT-6.1 Sol suits coding agents, computer use, document question answering, and workflow automation where cost per task matters.
ChatGPT-6.1 Sol Pro
GPT-6.1 Sol Pro is OpenAI's higher-effort configuration of GPT-6.1 Sol, the mid-tier model in the GPT-6 family. Based on how OpenAI handled GPT-6 Sol Pro, it is likely the same underlying model with reasoning mode set to pro, though OpenAI's documentation for the 6.1 release does not confirm this. It has a 1,050,000-token context window and 128,000 max output tokens, at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. Supported parameters include reasoning effort, tools, tool choice, structured response formats, seed, and streaming. Sol Pro is intended for complex requests such as agentic coding, computer use, and workflow automation, where answer quality matters more than latency. We found no published benchmarks for the Pro configuration itself.
ChatGPT-6 Sol
GPT-6 Sol is OpenAI's mid-tier model in the GPT-6 family, released September 22, 2026 as a faster, cheaper counterpart to the flagship GPT-6 Astra, built on the same training methods. OpenAI positions it for complex development work that developers run repeatedly, such as building features, reviewing code, debugging, and analyzing data. OpenAI reports Sol scoring 68.8% on the DeepSWE 1.1 coding benchmark, 60.5% on OSWorld 2.0 for computer use at xhigh effort, and 56.4% on Agents' Last Exam, a test of professional work across 55 sub-industries. The company says Sol makes about half as many factual errors as GPT-5.6 Sol, approaching Astra-level reliability at a lower cost. At $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, half of GPT-5.6 Sol's rate, Sol matches Claude Sonnet 5's standard pricing, though no published benchmark compares the two models directly.
