Merge Gateway Adds GPT-6.1 Terra

This is a meaningful infrastructure update because model access matters less than how easily teams can deploy, compare, and switch models in production.

• –Terra is priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens through OpenAI’s standard API
• –Merge Gateway adds a single integration point for model routing, cost controls, failover, and usage visibility
• –OpenAI reports Astra-like performance on some computer-use evaluations, but those results remain vendor-reported
• –The model’s strongest fit is high-volume visual workflows, screen interaction, document processing, and scoped coding tasks
• –Developers should benchmark real workloads before switching, especially where complex reasoning quality matters more than speed
