OpenAI Unveils Half-Price AI Model to Target Enterprise Automation

OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6.1 Terra, a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that costs half as much as two of its other models and is practical for automating high-volume work such as reading invoices and entering their information into accounting software, the company said in a Monday (Oct. 26) press release. GPT-6.1 Terra is “a significant step up” from GPT-5.6 Terra, while its standard application programming interface (API) prices are 50% lower than those of GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-6.1 Sol, according to the release. Along with automating high-volume work, GPT-6.1 Terra excels in communication and computer-based tasks, including drafting proposals, interpreting technical drawings, filling out forms and editing videos, the release said.
