gpt-5.6-terra — API, Pricing & Context Window

gpt-5.6-terra on Vivgrid: OpenAI's balanced gpt-5.6 model with a 1.05M-token context window, strong coding performance, and geo-distributed acceleration.

gpt-5.6-terra is the balanced model in OpenAI's gpt-5.6 family and the successor to gpt-5.4, delivering most of gpt-5.6-sol's coding and reasoning quality at half the price. Its 1.05M-token context window makes it a strong default for production agents.

On Vivgrid, gpt-5.6-terra is served through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with geo-distributed acceleration across AMER and EMEA, reachable with the same unified key as the rest of the catalog.
