OpenAI is testing GPT-6.1 Terra, a cheaper and more capable model than GPT-6.1 Sol, which costs $2/$10 per million tokens. Anthropic is building an intuition-focused model, while Google readies Gemini 4 Carbon for visual tasks. Releases may slip into November.

• GPT-6.1 Terra aims to beat Sol on quality at a lower price
• Sol costs $2 per million input and $10 per million output tokens
• Anthropic's upcoming Fable or Opus model targets intuitive reasoning
• Gemini 4 Carbon strengthens Google in video analysis and site testing
