GPT-5.6 Terra Pricing & Token Economics
GPT-5.6 Terra is a balanced model in OpenAI's GPT-5.6 series, positioned between the flagship Sol tier and the cost-efficient Luna tier.
Normalized Token Pricing Matrix
Real-time input, completion, and cache rates normalized to $/1M tokens.
Cost for prompts, instructions, document retrieval, and system context sent into the model.
Cost for generated text, code, tool calls, and structured JSON responses returned by the model.
Massive 90% savings on repeated context, documents, and system instructions.
Standard industry benchmark assuming 75% prompt reads and 25% completion generation.
GPT-5.6 Terra Monthly Bill Estimator
Estimated monthly costs across four standardized enterprise and developer workloads.
| Workload Scenario | Monthly Token Volume | Standard Bill | With Prompt Caching |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer Support Chatbot 10M prompt tokens + 2.5M output tokens per month | 12.5M tokens (10M in / 2.5M out) | $50.00/mo | $37.40/mo -25% |
| Document Analysis & RAG 30M prompt tokens (PDFs/context) + 3M output summaries | 33.0M tokens (30M in / 3M out) | $96.00/mo | $58.20/mo -39% |
| Coding Agent / IDE Swarm 60M prompt tokens (repo context) + 15M code completions | 75.0M tokens (60M in / 15M out) | $300.00/mo | $224.40/mo -25% |
| Enterprise Agentic Workflow 120M prompt tokens (reasoning loops) + 30M output actions | 150.0M tokens (120M in / 30M out) | $600.00/mo | $448.80/mo -25% |
