Model
GPT-5.6 Terra API pricing
Compare the published GPT-5.6 Terra (gpt-5.6-terra) list rate with corouter's outlet rate, and estimate a monthly token bill. GPT-5.6 Terra is the lower GPT-5.6 list rate and does not carry the Code tag. Send gpt-5.6-terra for long-context chat and vision at that rate.
Where this model fits
- Long-context assistants that mix tools and prose
- Retrieval answers over a large internal corpus
- Screenshot and scan review at the lower GPT-5.6 rate
Estimates only. Actual billing depends on your real token counts, cache hit rate, and the prices in effect at request time.
