Notes

The new Terra is less capable than Sol.

From what I understand, OpenAI is positioning it as a cheaper model focused on computer use.

Terminal-Bench 4.0 chart shows GPT-6.1 Terra (green dots) scoring lower than GPT-6.1 Sol (blue stars) at similar costs, supporting its positioning as a cheaper model for computer use.
