Overview
GPT-5.6 Terra is the balanced tier of OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family, offering competitive performance with the previous GPT-5.5 flagship at roughly half the cost. It keeps the full 1,050,000 token context window (128K max output) and native vision, making it a strong everyday-work model for teams that want frontier-class quality without flagship pricing.
Terra supports reasoning, structured outputs, function calling, and prompt caching, and handles both text and image input. It is a natural default for most production workloads — coding, writing, analysis, and agentic tool use — where Sol's peak capability is more than the task requires.
Priced at $2.50 per million input tokens and $15.00 per million output tokens through CallMissed (long-context tier over 272K tokens), Terra is the value-forward middle of the GPT-5.6 lineup.
Pricing
| Metric | Price |
|---|---|
| Input /1M tokens | ₹250.0000 |
| Output /1M tokens | ₹1500.0000 |
1 credit = ₹1 = $0.01 USD. Prices shown from provider; CallMissed passes through with ~35% markup.
