Decision reading

The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict. Use the documented cost, context, and runtime rows instead. 0 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

  • Long documents

    Prompts that approach the documented context limit

    GPT-6.1 Terra

    GPT-6.1 Terra has the larger documented context window.

    Kimi K2.7 Code

    Kimi K2.7 Code has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

  • Coding work

    Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks

    Not enough matched evidence

    GPT-6.1 Terra is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.

    Confidence: limited
  • Agentic work

    Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion

    Not enough matched evidence

    GPT-6.1 Terra is scored on Estimated evidence for agentic, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like.

    Confidence: limited

Which one for a specific job

Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.

The same task catalog as the LLM Selector. Each job names the evidence surface it rests on; nothing here adds a new score.

Not comparable · BenchAlign v5.8

The coding row is not comparable on the public lane: at least one model is not measured or not ranked there.

Coding scores combine specific tasks and setups. Match the editor, harness, and effort to your workflow.

Same basis rules as the category table below

What is actually comparable

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

2 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.

Shape of the matched evidence

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.

A shared-evidence shape is not available.

BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.

Category results, on a stated basis

Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

Deployment change
The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
Quality signal
The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict.
Workload cost
Repository review: $0.065 vs $0.0595. Cache-heavy agent loop: $0.08 vs $0.097.
Context tradeoff
GPT-6.1 Terra has the larger documented window (1.05M).
Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.

Questions

Which is better, GPT-6.1 Terra or Kimi K2.7 Code?

The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.

Which is better for coding, GPT-6.1 Terra or Kimi K2.7 Code?

GPT-6.1 Terra is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.

Which is better for agentic tasks, GPT-6.1 Terra or Kimi K2.7 Code?

GPT-6.1 Terra scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 72.4 to 38.5. GPT-6.1 Terra is scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.

Which costs less, GPT-6.1 Terra or Kimi K2.7 Code?

For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0035 on GPT-6.1 Terra and $0.00295 on Kimi K2.7 Code; repository review costs $0.065 and $0.0595; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.08 and $0.097. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

Which has the larger context window, GPT-6.1 Terra or Kimi K2.7 Code?

GPT-6.1 Terra has the larger documented context window: 1.05M, compared with 256K.
