What was announced?

According to AWS What's New, OpenAI GPT-6.1 Terra is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock. It expands the GPT-6 family with a balance of capability, speed, and cost efficiency for everyday workloads.

The story so far

The previous model in the Terra line is GPT-5.6 Terra. Compared with it, GPT-6.1 Terra is described as improving:

  • Detailed visual reasoning
  • Accurate computer use
  • Factuality
  • Natural writing

What changes

Let's look at the numbers:

  • On OpenAI's Agents' Last Exam evaluation, it scored 15 percentage points higher than GPT-5.6 Terra
  • On the same evaluation, it performed on par with GPT-6 Astra
  • It completed tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol
  • Input and output token prices are at least 50% lower than GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-5.6 Terra

Dive Deep

  • Context window of up to 1 million input tokens
  • Accepts text and image inputs
  • You can call it directly through Amazon Bedrock APIs
  • You can configure ChatGPT Work and Codex to use the model on Amazon Bedrock
  • Get started in the Amazon Bedrock console or through supported Amazon Bedrock APIs
  • Established AWS controls help you secure workloads, govern access, and audit model invocation activity

The announcement suggests these uses:

  • Drafting proposals
  • Interpreting technical drawings
  • Investigating codebases
  • Building agents that operate across business systems

The announcement page does not list Regions, endpoints, inference profiles, or pricing details. It points to the Amazon Bedrock documentation for those.

Wrap-up

  • GPT-6.1 Terra is generally available on Amazon Bedrock
  • It scored 15 points higher than GPT-5.6 Terra on Agents' Last Exam and finishes tasks more than 3x faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol
  • Prices are at least 50% lower than GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-5.6 Terra
  • Up to 1 million input tokens, with text and image inputs
