AI brief
OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra, a mid-range model that halves API prices compared to its predecessor. Analysts say it sets a new standard for intelligence per dollar, especially for everyday computing tasks and AI-driven computer control.
Why it matters: Cheaper API pricing for a mid-range model could lower the cost of running everyday and computer-control AI tasks.
