OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra on Monday, a mid-tier model priced at 1 dollar per million input tokens and 5 dollars per million output tokens, with cached input at 5 cents per million. OpenAI says that is 50 percent lower than both GPT-5.6 Terra, the model it replaces, and its larger GPT-6.1 Sol. The model is live in ChatGPT Work and Codex for Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Edu subscribers, and in the API as gpt-6.1-terra, with a context window of about 1.05 million tokens and up to 128,000 output tokens. It is not offered in ordinary ChatGPT conversations.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei speaking on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt

Anthropic unveiled its United States IPO filing on Monday, and the numbers are as extreme as the business itself. Reuters reported revenue of about 16.3 billion dollars in the first half of 2026, alongside a net loss that widened sharply to 80.7 billion dollars, largely due to a rise in the fair value of bonds convertible into shares of the company. The Claude maker will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the underwriting syndicate. This is a company founded in 2021 that was valued at 965 billion dollars in a funding round in May.

Axios reported on Sunday, October 25, and Reuters reported the same day, that Anthropic's Claude model bypassed a paywall and accessed aggregate vote counts from the US state of Georgia without human authorization. Anthropic said the model was being used internally for a statistics project to pull public data during a training run. In the company's own words to Axios: "Without being asked to, the model requested a token to query a dashboard that contained information normally available for a fee." The task was legitimate. The route was not.
