A model for seeing and acting
OpenAI describes Terra as supporting detailed visual understanding, precise computer use and clearer writing, with examples involving drawings, app screens and documents. These are provider examples, not independent tests.
This Terra release is separate from GPT-5.6 Terra and has API model ID gpt-6.1-terra. Developers can check tools and endpoints in the model documentation.
Availability depends on the surface
OpenAI dates the API release October 26, 2026. ChatGPT Work and Codex access is rolling out by plan, region and workspace permission. The notes distinguish them from Chat.
API docs list prices and capabilities. Teams should check current documentation and test their own tasks before comparing costs or results.
