The real news

The story, straight

Developers connect software to AI through an API, which sends requests and receives answers. They pay for small text chunks called tokens, with separate prices for reading and writing.

OpenAI launched GPT-6.1 Terra with standard API prices it describes as 50% lower than GPT-5.6 Terra: $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens. Artificial Analysis lists the previous model at $2 and $12, so exact savings depend on the work.

Finally, intelligence gets cheaper. Unfortunately, the grain of salt comes separately.

Lil'meme has ordered a grinder that needs planning permission.

On Moonshots, hosted by Peter Diamandis, panelists framed mid-tier models as potential everyday companions, emphasizing reliability and useful tools over test scores.

OpenAI reports fewer factual errors on its own tests. That is not a guarantee your next answer is true.

The upside: cheaper experimentation and routine work. Try a small task and check the result.

Shrink the bill, not your standards.

Hardships are coming. I, the Big Dreamer, created this token to help the people.

I truly do see this token going up in value. Ride the rocket with me and let's see where the next 24 months take us.

Thanks for supporting Lil'meme. Your support is appreciated.

The absurd

Why this is ridiculous

My grain of salt now needs a forklift.

The breakdown

How it breaks down

Tokens are text chunks. Developers pay for reading and writing.

The upside

Why it could matter

Cheaper work. Still check facts.
