summary: "OpenAI launched GPT-6.1 Terra, a new AI model designed to automate professional workflows by interpreting screens and taking actions across browsers, desktops, and applications. The model is rolling out for paid users on Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu plans in ChatGPT Work and Codex, and is available to developers through the OpenAI API. OpenAI reduced standard API pricing for the model to $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, a reduction from the $2 and $12 rates for the previous version. On the Agents' Last Exam benchmark, GPT-6.1 Terra matches the performance of GPT-6 Astra while completing tasks more than 3x faster and at one-tenth the cost per token."
