Decision facts

  • GPT-5.4 Mini is #34; GPT-5.6 Terra is #22 on the same current language board.
  • Index scores are 71.9 for GPT-5.4 Mini and 79.7 for GPT-5.6 Terra. Their published uncertainty intervals overlap, so the rank difference alone does not establish a reliable capability advantage for your workload.
  • Both positions use Measured evidence.
  • Listed output price per 1M tokens is $4.50 for GPT-5.4 Mini and $12.00 for GPT-5.6 Terra. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $3.75 for GPT-5.4 Mini versus $10.00 for GPT-5.6 Terra. GPT-5.4 Mini costs 62.5% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.
  • Published context is 400,000 tokens for GPT-5.4 Mini and 1,050,000 for GPT-5.6 Terra.
  • ModelCap currently lists 2 providers for GPT-5.4 Mini and 3 for GPT-5.6 Terra.

These are separate published fields, not a synthetic winner. ModelCap does not collapse price, access, context, and capability evidence into a hidden recommendation score.

Each comparison page is a permanent, shareable URL with the same live figures as this tool: ModelCap Index position, API pricing, context window, provider count, weight access and every shared benchmark board.
