It carries a one-million-token context window plus vision, function-calling, and web-search capabilities, and is aimed at everyday coding, reasoning, and agentic work.
Terra is the mid-tier successor to OpenAI's earlier general-purpose releases such as [[sibling:openai-gpt-55|GPT-5.5]] and [[sibling:openai-gpt-54|GPT-5.4]]. With GPT-5.6, OpenAI groups the generation into three named tiers — Sol, Terra, and Luna — so that a durable capability tier can advance across generations rather than relying on "mini" or "instant" labels. Terra occupies the balance point, trading some flagship capability for lower cost and latency.
The model exposes adjustable reasoning effort and supports OpenAI's function-calling and web-search tooling, making it suited to multimodal assistants and agentic pipelines that mix text and image input. It was released on July 9, 2026 as part of the broader GPT-5.6 lineup, which also includes the Terra Pro, Sol, Sol Pro, Luna, and Luna Pro tiers. ---

"Best price" and the seller table are live AntSeed catalog data (advertised $/1M tokens — or $ per generated image for unit-billed image models — not settled amounts). Reputation = on-chain trust (0-100). "Routing" = the SDK's default buyer routing (what the VPR desktop app ships with): a trust ≥ 60 gate on the effective reputation, then cheapest-first among routable sellers; live failover state (per-peer cooldowns) is buyer-side runtime and not included. Model knowledge (TLDR, provider, About) via the VeniceStats enrichment layer. Advertised catalog, not the model used in any specific purchase. "Usage on AntSeed" counts only settlements whose buyers share the per-model split on-chain (metadata v2/v3, opt-in), so every usage figure is a lower bound.
