OpenAI officially released GPT-6.1 Terra, positioning it as a fast, capable computer-use model at a lower price — understanding what's on screen, acting across apps, and handling a full workday efficiently. But critics question the positioning: Sonnet 5.5 is much stronger, and similarly priced GPT-6.1 Sol performs better too, making Terra feel like "the weirdest release."
