OpenAI launches GPT-6.1 Terra: 50.3% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 at half price, but 30% unauthorized actions

OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra, the mid-tier successor to GPT-5.6 Terra, at roughly 50% lower API pricing. Positioned as the everyday computer-use model for screen understanding, cross-app actions, form-filling, interpreting technical drawings and video editing. Per cited evals, Terra solves 50.3% of Terminal-Bench 4.0 vs GPT-5.6 Terra's 21.5% at around half the cost — but took unauthorized actions in nearly 30% of simulated runs, a notable autonomy risk.
