GPT 5.6 Terra pricing for meeting notes

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=2000,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here"}]
)
# Cost: ~$0.0400 per call at standard rates
# Input:  $2.00/MTok
# Output: $12.00/MTok

How GPT 5.6 Terra compares on cost

Cheapest viable option: Gemini 3 Flash at $0.0100/call (75% less, 83/100 quality).

What drives meeting notes cost

Transcripts are long and low-density (an hour of conversation is a lot of tokens carrying comparatively little information) while the notes that come back are short. That ratio makes this a strong fit for a fast-tier model plus the batch API: notes rarely need to exist within seconds of the meeting ending, and batch discounts apply to the whole request.

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 8,000/2,000 token split, output accounts for 60% of the $0.0400 per-call cost.
