OpenAI claims a **50% price reduction** in API rates, charging **$1 per million input tokens** and **$5 per million output tokens**—half of GPT-5.6 Terra’s pricing.\n\nBeyond coding, GPT-6.1 Terra outperformed competitors in **Terminal-Bench 4.0**, solving **50.3%** of tasks compared to **21.5%** for GPT-5.6 Terra. OpenAI positions it as a **mid-tier, cost-efficient model** for visual reasoning and routine programming tasks, available in **ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API** (named `gpt-6.1-terra`). The leaderboard result aligns with its target audience: developers handling everyday build-and-debug work.","keyPoints":["Cost per task dropped **28%** to **$0.40** median, with API pricing cut **50%** vs. GPT-5.6 Terra","Available in Codex, ChatGPT Work, and API as `gpt-6.1-terra` for routine coding and visual tasks"],"whyItMatters":"A mid-tier model with **lower costs and higher efficiency** could shift how developers use OpenAI’s API for everyday coding tasks, reducing expenses for small teams and startups.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","Arena.ai"],"models":["GPT-6.1 Terra","GPT-5.6 Terra","GPT-6 Astra","GPT-6.1 Sol"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"cryptobriefing.com","title":"OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Terra ranks #14 in Code Arena WebDev with 1,671 points","url":"https://cryptobriefing.com/openai-gpt-6-1-terra-code-arena-webdev","publishedAt":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Terra scores 1,671 points on Code Arena WebDev leaderboard\", 27 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/openais-gpt-6-1-terra-scores-1-671-points-on-code-arena-webdev-leaderb","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Terra scores 1,671 points on Code Arena WebDev leaderboard","datePublished":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/openais-gpt-6-1-terra-scores-1-671-points-on-code-arena-webdev-leaderb"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
