AI that can use a computer just got half the price.
OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra last week. It's built for computer use: it can click through software, fill in forms and move between apps the way a person would.
Through the API it costs $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output, which OpenAI says is half the price of the version before it.
Why this matters for small businesses:
A lot of the boring work they do happens in old software with no integrations. Copying orders into a spreadsheet, updating a booking system, pulling numbers out of one portal and typing them into another.
Until now, automating that meant building a proper integration, or giving up. An AI that can just use the software like a person changes that, and when the price halves, a lot more of those jobs become worth automating.
It won't be perfect yet. But this is the direction everything is heading, and the people who learn it now will be ahead of everyone who waits.
GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price.
GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.
