Decision facts

  • GPT-5.6 Terra is #21; o4 Mini is #106 on the same current language board.
  • Index scores are 79.7 for GPT-5.6 Terra and 51.6 for o4 Mini. Their published uncertainty intervals do not overlap, but the aggregate Index does not predict performance on every task; compare the relevant benchmark configurations before choosing.
  • Both positions use Measured evidence.
  • Listed output price per 1M tokens is $12.00 for GPT-5.6 Terra and $4.40 for o4 Mini. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $10.00 for GPT-5.6 Terra versus $4.40 for o4 Mini. o4 Mini costs 56.0% 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 1,050,000 tokens for GPT-5.6 Terra and 200,000 for o4 Mini.
  • ModelCap currently lists 3 providers for GPT-5.6 Terra and 1 for o4 Mini.

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.
