OpenAI is preparing GPT-6.1 Terra for an upcoming release, with the model appearing in evaluation configs and expected to beat GPT-6.1 Sol at a lower cost.
GPT-6.1 Terra appeared in 18 evaluation configs that were switched from GPT-5.6 Terra, indicating a release may be near.
The Information reports that the new Terra is expected to beat GPT-6.1 Sol while costing less, as OpenAI competes with Anthropic on price.
Some new model launches, including the potential Terra model, might slip into November, according to The Information.
