These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

BES evidence selected · measured input only

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

GPT-5.6 Terra: common questions

How does GPT-5.6 Terra rank among AI models?

GPT-5.6 Terra is a superseded version and is not on the current board as of 6 November 2026. Its archive position, where one exists, is shown on the page; the newer version carries the current rank.

How much does GPT-5.6 Terra cost per 1M tokens?

GPT-5.6 Terra is listed at $2.00 per 1M input tokens and $12.00 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026; the lowest output price among 3 providers is $6.00 on OpenAI. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $10.00 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.

What is the context window of GPT-5.6 Terra?

GPT-5.6 Terra has a published context window of 1M tokens (1,050,000). The snapshot lists a 128,000 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra open-weight?

No linked weights. No downloadable model weights are linked in the current source data. This does not identify every API or chat product that offers the model.

Which API providers serve GPT-5.6 Terra?

3 providers serve GPT-5.6 Terra through OpenRouter as of 6 November 2026: OpenAI, Azure and Amazon Bedrock. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.

Which benchmarks has GPT-5.6 Terra been evaluated on?

GPT-5.6 Terra has published results on 6 public boards tracked by ModelCap as of 6 November 2026: Arena text 1467 (#50 of 419), Arena coding 1517 (#43 of 414), LMArena Agent -1.5% (#33 of 58), ARC-AGI-2 83.9% (#35 of 281) and ARC-AGI-3 0.8% (#67 of 114) and more. Each board page ranks every tracked model on that benchmark. The ModelCap Index scores the results its methodology admits, with published uncertainty, and shows reference boards without scoring them.

When was GPT-5.6 Terra released?

GPT-5.6 Terra first appeared in the catalogue on 9 Jul 2026, with a published knowledge cutoff of 2026-02-16. It has since been superseded by GPT-6.1 Terra. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
