Switched my daily driver to gpt-6.1-terra.
The whole world finally went quiet. I'd been on the official deepseek-v4.1-flash and it just would not shut up. Verbose, over-thought everything, fired tokens out fast, then crawled to the actual result.
DS scored 33 on the AA benchmark (33% task success). At $0.6 a run that's ~3 attempts per finished task, so $1.8 each.
Terra (high) scores 42.4 at $0.26 a run. ~2.5 attempts per success, $0.65 each.
So the model that looks more expensive is cheaper per real result. With GPT Pro 200, Terra chews through ~10B tokens a week for me (YMMV), and that $200/mo covers one person's whole usage.
