OpenAI: GPT-5.6 Terra (batch)

This AI model from OpenAI supports input through various modalities, including text, images, and files, with a large context length of 1 million tokens. It also offers tool support and reasoning capabilities, but does not provide structured output. The GPT-5.6 Terra (batch) model is priced at $1.0 per million input tokens and $6.0 per million output tokens. With a blended benchmark score of 71.1 across one independent benchmark, it may be worth considering for users who prioritize reasoning capabilities and tool support, especially given its broad input modalities. However, the price point may deter those on a budget or with limited output needs, making it suitable only for certain use cases.
