GPT 5.6 Terra pricing for json extraction

Quick start

Call GPT 5.6 Terra with the OpenAI Python SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-5.6-terra",
    max_tokens=800,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.0156 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $2.00/MTok
# Output: $12.00/MTok

What drives json extraction cost

Structured JSON output is compact and predictable, so cost is set almost entirely by how much source text you send. The schema itself is identical on every call and belongs in the cached prefix. This is also a task where a smaller model often matches a larger one: the output space is constrained by the schema, which limits how wrong a cheaper model can go.

For GPT 5.6 Terra specifically, that means output tokens cost 6.0x more than input, at $12.00 vs $2.00 per MTok. At this use case’s 3,000/800 token split, output accounts for 62% of the $0.0156 per-call cost.
