Providers
GPT-5.6 Terra starts at $2.00 per million input tokens and $12.00 per million output tokens via OpenAI. Reused prompt prefixes cost $0.200 per million cached input tokens.
| Provider | Input $/M | Cached input $/M | Output $/M | Context in / out | TTFT p95 s | Output p5 c/s | Modalities in / out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 OpenAI | $2.00 | $0.200 | $12.00 | 1.1M/128.0K | 5.21 | 45 | / |
Cached input is the discounted price for prompt tokens served from a provider cache. TTFT is time to first token. Output is characters per second; p5 is the sustained floor exceeded by 95% of observed requests.
