| Summary | GPT-5.6 Terra is the balanced model in OpenAI's GPT-5.6 series, positioned between the flagship Sol tier and the cost-efficient Luna tier. It is designed for everyday coding, reasoning, and agentic workflows, delivering strong performance while balancing capability and cost. Offering near-flagship quality at approximately half the cost of Sol, GPT-5.6 Terra is well suited for production applications that require reliable reasoning, software development, and scalable agent execution. | GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's flagship model for demanding end-to-end professional work, designed for advanced analysis, software engineering, deep research, scientific tasks, and document creation. It is particularly strong in long-horizon agentic workflows, including tasks that require sustained reasoning, tool orchestration, and computer and browser use, making it well suited for complex autonomous workflows and production-grade knowledge work. |
