What it costs to get this score

Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #16 of 214 on the public leaderboard with a score of 69.42/100. Its source-verified position is #11 of 77.

GPT-5.6 Terra is a proprietary model with a 1.05M context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

GPT-5.6 Terra sits in the GPT-5.6 family with GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Cyber. 42 of 847 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Multimodal & Grounded at #15, while its lowest eligible position is Instruction Following at #42. particularly strong for screenshots, documents, charts, and grounded multimodal workflows.

Last updated November 9, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Questions

How does GPT-5.6 Terra perform overall in AI benchmarks?

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #16 out of 214 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 69.42/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 42 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra good for knowledge and understanding?

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #20 out of 179 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 68.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra good for coding and programming?

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #18 out of 158 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 61.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra good for mathematics?

GPT-5.6 Terra has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra good for reasoning and logic?

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #18 out of 157 eligible models for reasoning and logic, with a public category score of 69.1/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #26 out of 132 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 60.4/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GPT-5.6 Terra good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

GPT-5.6 Terra ranks #15 out of 67 eligible models for multimodal and grounded tasks, with a public category score of 68.9/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Which sibling models are related to GPT-5.6 Terra?

GPT-5.6 Terra belongs to the GPT-5.6 family. Related tracked variants include GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Cyber. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.

Does GPT-5.6 Terra have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. GPT-5.6 Terra currently has 63 source-displayable rows. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of GPT-5.6 Terra?

GPT-5.6 Terra has a documented context window of 1.05M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
