Editorial excerpt
GPT-5.6 Terra
AI-assisted, editorially reviewed
The balanced GPT-5.6 option for everyday work, trading some peak capability for lower cost.
GPT-5.6 Terra is the balanced tier for everyday professional and coding workloads. It gives up some peak performance versus Sol in exchange for lower token pricing, making it the practical default when both capability and cost matter.
